Since powering Squeeze to pop rock fame, Glenn Tilbrook has wowed music fans
around the world with his down-to-earth, impassioned style. Welcoming the crowd
with his customary greeting of “Alright, loves?” Glenn establishes an immediate
rapport with every audience he encounters, from Tokyo to Texas.
In 2003 Glenn announced that he was going to work with a bunch of Fluffers.
Enter a trio of exciting young musicians who would form the combo that has taken
Glenn’s solo material into a new dimension.
On keyboards is “ennobled” Northern Soul-loving Stephen “Lord” Large, formerly
of Electric Soft Parade. Offstage Lord Large is mild-mannered, but on stage the
man is transformed into a rock monster, a showman who riffs off his fellow
Fluffers, and is allowed generous room by Glenn to show off his vast array of
skills to stunned audiences.
On bass since 2004 is the sultry, classically-trained Lucy Shaw. Having played
with an extraordinarily varied array of talent over the years, from Luciano
Pavarotti through Katie Melua to Paul McCartney, Lucy puts the panache in a
tight rhythm section.
Her partner in crime is former Death in Vegas and Dogs D’Amour drummer Simon
Hanson. From the Keith Moon School of Drumming, Simon’s high-energy
instrumentation work behind the sticks knits together the band’s melodic, punchy
sound.
Last year Glenn and The Fluffers released their first single “Binga Bong,” ahead
of the long-awaited “Pandemonium Ensues” album released in the U.S. this April.
Be prepared to be blown away by the best Fluffers in town!
