Every year hundreds of joke bands are formed. But it is truly rare that a band becomes this good at the joke. Formed in the spring of 2005, for the sole reason of helping a friend with an out of the ordinary song for a movie, the boys of Glen and the Sunshine Gang soon came to the realization that experience had more to offer them than a one-time project.
Being surrounded by many friends immersed in the sounds of the Orange County hardcore scene, Glen and the Sunshine Gang cleverly incorporated the aggressive style of that sound into their own particular brand of 80’s influenced dance rock. Symphonic synthesizers, raunchy guitars, and in-your-face beats rooted in the art of the hardcore breakdowns come together to create one thing: a high dose of EPIC HILARITY!
Glen is made up of 6 strapping, spandex-clad young men who project the power of an H-bomb, the energy of a high school freshman, and the talent of an army of virtuosos. “Why spandex” you ask? It’s because spandex are unrestrictive, uninhibited and extremely revealing. Just like their music, their show and their very lives.
