User talk:Gliss~enwiki

When Billy Corgan heard Gliss’ debut EP, the band had barely ventured out of their hometown of Los Angeles. Their dark, atmospheric, guitar-and-keys heavy sound drew Corgan in and inspired him to take them along for a European tour, changing the band forever. While in Europe, they honed their sound, gained fans, and faced a metric ton of European attitude. Their debut full-length, Love The Virgins, was partially recorded during their formative European excursion.

Gliss conjures up a world where American garage rock meets the swirling ominous sounds of Berlin’s Krautrock. With fuzzed-out My Bloody Valentine guitars, The Dandy Warhol’s poppy rhythmic sensibilities, and the dark propulsion of The Liars, Gliss chronicles the excesses of a life they can’t seem to quit. This isn’t to say that there’s no fun to be had: “Blue Sky” is a wailing floor-stomper, propelled by drum kicks and a deliciously simple guitar lick, while “Kissing The Boulevard” is a double-time dancer with smoothed out synth bridges. Darker tracks like “Falling to Pieces,” “Make Believe,” and “Innocent Eyes” lament innocence lost to a rock ‘n’ roll life. Gliss makes doing bad sound good enough not to dissuade anyone from hedonism.

Having toured with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins, Raveonettes, We Are Scientists, and The Editors, Gliss’ mesmerizing stage presence has an immediate grip on audiences. Dynamic frontman Martin Klingman and bandmates David Reiss and Victoria Cecilia, all multi-instrumentalists, each contributed vocals, guitar, bass and drums to the album and frequently change instruments during live shows. Love The Virgins captures the chaos and beauty of the dark underbelly of rock ‘n’ roll excess.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Gliss. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gliss~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:12, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
