About Me

Created with mySpace Profile EditorHi I'm Glen Boden, i have been interested in music for as long as i can remember. when i was a kid i was hugely into Queen and i always wanted to play guitar like Brian May, and i am still yet to achieve this goal!! I learned the viola in junior school until i discovered the Guitar at the age of 10 or 11 and almost instantly i began to write my own songs as i learned new chords. As soon as i hit senior school i joined bands and did concerts at school and around the birmingham social club scene, near the end of my high school years i was with a band called Zen we played around the small venues in birmingham such as Scruffy Murphy's and The Rainbow Pub. My serious giging began when i joined Loosejoints in late 2004 we played bigger venues such as the Birmingham Barfly and The Borderline in London. I am a multi track artist, meaning i am my own band, i play all the instruments you hear on my songs unless otherwise stated. I think i have ended up playing every instrument because admittedly when it comes to my music, i am quite the control freak. i usually have a vision of what i want before i record a song. I don't like to follow rules or trends when it comes to my music i write and play what i would like to hear myself! in the near future i will be giging around with my band Glen Boden's Boulevard, or The Blvd. for short. you can check right hear for my gigs!!thanks and i hope you enjoy my sounds!!
