ABOUT SHITTING GLITTER
Shitting Glitter is an American queercore/avant-pop band inspired by new wave and electronic rock. The band was formed in 2001 by Amy Crosby (vocals), Devin Tait (synths and vocals) and Von "Mag" Edwards (guitar and vocals). Originally, they aimed to parlay their outsider art rock into commercial success as an openly-LGBTQ band. The lineup fluctuated until the band released its debut album Post No Bills in 2003, at which time the lineup included Crosby, Tait, and guitarist/producer Brandon Strecker (credited as Brandon Glen). This lineup of the band released two more albums and several singles and EPs. Perhaps their biggest success was the track "Slut Buffet," which was remixed by Solar City and became an underground "hit" in gay nightclubs. In 2010, Tait left the band with Crosby the sole remaining original member. Crosby passed away in February, 2021 but her memory lives on through her art, music, and all those she left a mark on during her time on earth.
"Black Magic Marker" Out Now
After recording "The Man" for the documentary Six Degrees of Helter Skelter, Shitting Glitter decided to write a song with a noir vibe, and "Black Magic Marker" was the result. Left unfinished for years, after Amy's passing, it was revived and completed.
