GLIDE

Singer-songwriter William Arthur and his band Glide were always on the edge. Formed in Sydney in 1991 with Jason Kingshott on drums, Tim Scott on guitar and Marc Lynch on bass the foursome quickly released the EP 'Pretty Mouth'. It was followed by the much praised second EP 'Shuffle Off To Buffalo'. Recorded in late 1992, which received Australia wide radio exposure and critical acclaim that started the Glide ride. Guitarist Paul McDonald replaced Tim Scott in 1993.

Waiting for the major record companies to wake up to William and Glide’s vision was a painful process but after a third independent release, the catchy and unnerving single ''Wake'', Glide was set to record the first album. Glide set about recording their debut album 'Open Up And Croon' in late 1994 that was released in Feb 1995. Marc Lynch was replaced by Andy Kelly before Glide recorded their sophomore album, ironically entitled 'Disappear Here' in 1996. The album was full of lush guitars and well-honed sculpted walls of sound and harmony. A major lineup change occurred in 1997. Jeremy Smith, Andrew Kentler and Brendan Wixted joined the band replacing Andy Kelly and Jason Kingshott. Glide’s singer, songwriter and guitarist William Arthur died on the 18th of August 1999 and the band called it quits in 2000, after they released their third and final album, 'Last' which was dedicated to William Arthur.
