****GLITTERHEAD****Here are some pictures of the band "GlitterHead." If you haven't heard them yet, you will soon. Combining different styles of music, including glamrock, goth, heavy metal, and thrash, these boys can sure rock! Hearing them on record is evidence enough, but seeing them live REALLY drives it home. Their performances are already becoming legendary, with their wild stage antics and sound causing fans to pass out from manic hysteria. If you've seen KISS, with all their showmanship and pomp, then you've seen a small taste of what GlitterHead can do. And if you've seen Pete Townsend smash a guitar, or Hendrix lite one on fire, you ain't seen nothin' yet, baby. But don't think that GlitterHead's wild stage show means bad music. All members of the band are superior musicians. And they sure know how to write a great song. If you don't have their record yet, BUY IT NOW. And if you haven't seen them live yet, BE PREPARED FOR BEDLAM!!

Nic Tragic
Nic is the lead vocalist, harmonica player, and front man for GlitterHead. Don't let his outrageous clothing and hairstyle fool you. This boy was born with a set of pipes that just won't quit! He can cover it all, from a low gutteral growl, to high-pitched screams and everything in between. When Gloria Wickenburg from Grunge Magazine recently asked what his influences were, Nic replied, "F*ck influences! Everything I hear is a f*cking influence! I've been influenced since I was f*cking born! You know?" To which Gloria followed up with, "So Neil Sadaka is an influence, too?" "Well," says Nic, "sure, why not? At least he taught me that I can sing like a f*cking woman if I feel like it. What are ya doin' later, babe?" As you can guess, Nic always gets the girls. |
Craig Wanderhaggen
Craig, guitarist and back-up singer for GlitterHead, hails from Norway. His father, Ulie, bought him his first guitar when he was 3 years old. Ulie told reporters, "I could nata believe it! 2 weeks afta I buy heem dis guita, ya, Craig is alareedy playinga Roll Outa Da Barrel, and Onna Da Peeks of Windsa, ya! I knew he was a desteened fa da big a time ya!" Whether child prodigy or not, it is evident that Craig really knows his chops. He can compete with the best of 'em. Whatever the technique - hammering, pull-offs, pick scrapes, whammy bar mayhem, or just good ol' fast pickin', Craig will blow your socks off. And talk about killer sound. His guitars, amps and other equipment are all his own design. Not only a genius on the axe, but also a technical building wizard, Craig will leave you stunned, but ecstatic. (Keep a lookout for info about Craig's brother, Iven - also a legend on the axe.) |
Jimmy (L) and Tommy (R) Splatz
Jimmy and Tommy Splatz make up the rhythm section for the band. On the bass guitar, Jimmy's deep, power- house thumping will hit you where you live, vibrating your body into a frenzy. On the traps, Tommy lays down a relentless mind-boggling beat, interspersed with lightning-fast fills and rolls, always right on time, but heavy enough to make even a Catholic girl giddy. Being brothers helps them to communicate musically, and forms a bond that is evident in the music. "It's really weird," says Jimmy, "It's like we always know what the other is thinkin'. If Tommy does something new onstage, I'm always right there with him. It's like a psychic connection. If he catches a cymbal with his armpit, I'm right there pluckin' my string with my schlong!" |
