The Glam Fakir is fronted by singer-songwriter and guitarist George Olsen who works with different musicians recording and playing live.
Why this name?
It came from one of the songs called 'Glam Fakir'..."You come on like you're a Sufi...but you're just a Glam fakir...kind of queer...just a Glam Fakir...."
Do you play live?
We currently play in and around Glasgow but all of the musicians have played in other line-ups in the past.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It blows it wide open and helps to free the public from the grip of bland neutered pap endorsed by the major labels
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, because they still have the promotional clout and it's important to reach a large audience
Band History:
Glam Fakir came into existence in 2003 as a persona because of the camp rock tracks which we'd mainly been recording..
Your influences?
early 70's Bolan and Bowie and Lou Reed tinged with Sensational Alex Harvey (a local hero)and the Clash
Favorite spot?
Overlooking the Clyde Estuary from the Hills above Port Glasgow
Anything else...?
Let's be the Children of the multi-sexual, transcendental digital Revolution..
