[edit] The Glitterati (Debut Album)
In 2004 the band released an EP called "Here Comes A Close Up" limited to a certain amount of copies it did not make the UK singles chart but did manage to sell most of the units.
The band released their debut album "The Glitterati" on the 25th April 2005. The Album was produced by the legendary Mike Clink was has worked with bands such as Guns N' Roses on Appetite For Destruction and Use Your Illusion I and II and Metallica on some track from Garage Inc. The album was recorded in a Los Angeles studio. This was followed by the extensive "Back In Power tour of the UK.
Early 2005 the band broke into the top 40 singles chart with their single "You Got Nothing On Me", their next single, Heartbreaker did not make it so high in the charts and the band just made it into the top 75 with "Back In Power".
Over the summer of 2005 "The Gliterati" played some major festivals in the United Kingdom such as "T in The Park" and Download Festival at Donnington Park. This has earned the band a big fanbase across the country.
The Band can be compared greatly to rivals "Towers of London" and have a sound and style very similar to Velvet Revolver style with their raunchy lyrics, heavy riffs and general appearance.
