My name is Glenn James and I was born 13th of the 3rd 1978.
I'm studying Animal Technolgy full time at V.U.T. Werribee.
How/why did you start playing?
I stated playing roughly back in 1992 when I was in year 8. I begged my mum to let me take lessons through school. I remember her saying "You won't stick to it". Nearly 2 decades later here I am!
Musical training?
I had one year of lessons through school then I stopped because I moved schools and my new school didnt have a music program. I then had lessons about 10 yrs later from Chris Quinlan who has the T.V.show Melbourne Muso's on channel 31. That lasted about a year as well.
Influences?
My main influences include Vinnie Paul (Pantera, Damageplan, Hellyeah) and Lars Ulrich (Metallica)
How did you join the band?
I went and saw the old bass player (Rob Charlton) play in one of his cover bands and he asked if I wanted to audition for Catwitch so I said "Yeah" so here I am today.
Highlights of your musical career?
I played at Wacken Festival and there were 1000's of screaming chicks there wanting to sleep with me!!!!!..................... and then I woke up!!!
