The Oxfam Glamour Models

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Oxfam Glamour Models were an indie rock band from Middlesbrough in the North East of England. They signed to Marquis Cha Cha records in 2006.

Their first single "Kick out the grams" sold out in one day[citation needed], was an NME single of the week[citation needed], and named in both Artrocker and Playlouder's top 50 singles of 2006[citation needed]. Following the singles success the band embarked on a lengthy tour of the UK with label mates Bromheads Jacket[citation needed].

Having appeared on the cover of both the NME and Artrocker in the summer by the November 2006 they released the follow up to "Kick out the grams", the Jonathon Ross referencing "8 cans yeah" which, although gaining favourable reviews, was considered poor in comparison to the success of the first[who?].

Following a year of line up problems and lost momentum The Oxfam Glamour Models split in December 2007.
