About the artist
Glide
Formed in 1991 and fronted by William Arthur, Glide released their debut album Open Up & Croon in 1995 and went on to tour with the likes of Blur and Lush.
Glide released their second LP Disappear Here in 1996 before Arthur passed away in 1999. In 2000, the indie-rock outfit released their third and final album, Last.
If you were anywhere near the Australian indie rock scene in the early '90s, Glide was a much- loved feature of the Australian scene. The musical legacy they built remains strong and resonates with fans old and new today.
Over their career, Glide released four albums: "Open Up & Croon" (1995), "Disappear Here" (1996), “Shrink-Wrapped Real Thing” (1997) and "Last" (2000, posthumously, following the death of William Arthur in 1999, at the age of 33).
Glide headlined relentlessly across Australia, toured with bands like Blur and Lush, and toured the US twice, including a show at SXSW. Their music gained recognition and rave reviews within the Australian music scene and in the US, where Open Up & Croon was made album of the year
by the illustrious music journal, The Big Takeover.
