Glenn is the frontman of Squeeze, the band he formed with his songwriting partner Chris Difford in the summer of 1973. In a career that tasted early critical and commercial fame in the U.K. and U.S. with albums such as ‘Cool for Cats’ ‘Argy Bargy’ and ‘East Side Story’, the band were loved and respected for their strand of timeless, literate pop music. , They broke up in 1982 needing a very big rest only to reform 3 years later. 1987 saw the release of their largest selling album in the U.S., ‘Babylon and on’. From that point on, Squeeze made albums that artistically got better, (’Frank’, ‘Play’ and ‘Some Fantastic Place’) but commercially fared worse. Time, (and the promotional budgets of the major labels) was not on their side. Squeeze disintegrated into a star trek like pile of minerals and salt in 1998. Since then Glenn Tilbrook has been touring extensively in the UK, America, Australia and Japan as a solo artist, and in the U.K. and U.S. with his band The Fluffers. 2001 saw the release of his first solo album, The Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook, 2004 his 2nd, Transatlantic Ping Pong, both critically acclaimed. In 2006 came the release of Amy Pickards feature length documentary Glenn Tilbrook: One For The Road about life as a touring musician on the road in the US. 2009 saw the release of Glenn’s first full album with his band The Fluffers ‘Pandemonium Ensues’. Glenn and the Fluffers have been touring extensively across the globe to promote this well received gem.
In a strange twist of fate April 2007 saw the start of a re-release campaign by Universal and Warners of the entire Squeeze back catalogue. These releases are something that Chris and Glenn are very proud of and so in tribute to themselves they decided to reform Squeeze. Their eight years away was enough to elevate their status from quite good to legendary and in July and August 2007 they played a sold out tour of the U.S. Sold out shows followed in the UK at the end of the same year. 2009 sees Squeeze still together and occasionally going on the road to perform to continued sold out excited audiences. After Glenn’s trip with LHS to Kilimanjaro he will be back on the road to continue supporting his most recent solo release, ‘Pandemonium Ensues’.
