About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the dance floor.
Glass Shark are an explosive British power trio who want to make your feet move and your body rock. Formed in May 2006, this amazing live band have been featured on BBC radio and ITV, in the pages of the NME and Music Week and at major live events such as the Ripcurl Boardmasters Unleashed festival and the WorldSpace sessions at Abbey Road studios.
Influences such as LCD Soundsystem, Prince and Soulwax unite in unholy metronomy, creating a dance-punk melee, rife with razor-sharp riffs, thundering disco beats and more hooks than Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
