Glo-Worm- Glimmer
Glo-worm produce chiming pop music of a non-bouncing variety that sounds pure, forlorn and unencumbered. Glo-Worm are at the heart of the '90s East Coast independent pop music scene that brought us Slumberland Records, Velocity Girl, Versus and chickfactor magazine. Glimmer [KLP054] brings all the various glo-worm 45s together under one roof. It's a real charmer, and now available for the first time as a long playing (LP) phonograph record glo-worm formed in Washington D.C., summer 1993 and features the voice of Pam Berry (co-founder of chickfactor magazine) accompanied by Dan Searing (drums, percussion) and Terry Banks (guitar). Previously, Pam had sung in Black Tambourine. Terry played in Tree Fort Angst and a stint in English underground combo St. Christopher. Dan had been in Whorl. During the course of glo-worm's two-and-a-half-ish year lifespan, the band released three 7" EPs (issued by the Somersault, Slumberland and K labels) and had songs on a couple of compilations, all leading up to the glimmer [KLP054] album, which compiled the 7" EPs and added a cover of The Cure's 'Friday I'm in Love' and was released by K in 1996 as a compact disc. Pam Berry, the voice of Black Tambourine, shares songs of a more intimate and personal nature in Glo-Worm than in any of her other many combos. This results in a very satisfying listening experience as one is transported through Pamland celebrating love, loss and bohemian life in general. The members of Glo-Worm are people involved in the very beginnings of the '90s East Coast underground pop scene that gave birth to Slumberland Records (all the members of Glo-Worm have played in multiple groups on the label). During the course of Glo-Worm's two-and-a-half-ish year lifespan Glo-Worm played shows with the likes of the Magnetic Fields, Small Factory, Heavenly, The Clientele, Honeybunch, Would-Be-Goods, Pizzicato Five, Tsunami, Boyracer, Air Miami, The Legendary Jim Ruiz Group, and Ivy. The band's biggest show was in Spring 1995, opening for Radiohead at the now-razed Washington Convention Center. Besides Glo-Worm's breathtakingly beautiful original songs, Glimmer has four fun covers done in their own inimitable style: Petula Clark "Downtown," Bobby Darin "Beyond The Sea," Velocity Girl "Crazy Town," The Cure "Friday I'm in Love."released by K in 1996.
