GLISS

Gliss conjures up a world where American garage rock meets the swirling ominous sounds of Berlin's Krautrock. With fuzzed-out My Bloody Valentine guitars, The Dandy Warhol's poppy rhythmic sensibilities, and the dark propulsion of The Liars, Gliss chronicles the excesses of a life they can't seem to quit. They make doing bad sound good enough not to dissuade anyone from hedonism.

Having toured with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins, Raveonettes, We Are Scientists, and The Editors, Gliss' mesmerizing stage presence has an immediate grip on audiences. Dynamic frontman Martin Klingman and bandmates David Reiss and Victoria Cecilia, all multi-instrumentalists, each contribute vocals, guitar, bass and drums to the albums and frequently change instruments during live shows. They capture the chaos and beauty of the dark underbelly of rock 'n' roll excess.
