The Glam Band gets their name from the Glam Metal era of music, also known as Hair Metal or Pop Metal. It is a subgenre of hard rock and heavy metal, and is most known for its catchy hooks and guitar riffs. This style can be traced back to acts like Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick, Kiss, The New York Dolls, and Van Halen.
Glam Metal arose in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the United States, particularly on the Los Angeles Sunset Strip music scene, pioneered by bands such as Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, Ratt, and Bon Jovi. It was popular throughout the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, bringing to prominence bands including Poison, Cinderella, and Warrant. Glam metal was notably associated with flashy clothing and makeup. Many bands from this era featured long shaggy or backcombed hair, accessories, metal studs, leather and make-up during their live performances.
The passion and spirit that The Glam Band brings to the stage is unmatched in the world of cover bands. Combining an all star performing group with the costuming, hair and makeup of the 80s Glam Metal era creates a multi sensory experience for those in the audience. Anyone with an appreciation of 80’s rock will love this group and their energetic interaction with the crowd.
