A BRIEF INTRODUCTION (taken from www.augie-march.com)

Welcome to Augie March, the biography. We are a five year old band, born and still living in Melbourne, Australia where music is alive every night of the week. Three of us were born and raised in the country outside of Melbourne and migrated to the city for schooling in various arts and humanities.

At the moment we number five, having recently added an experienced pianist/piano-accordionist to an already accomplished, organic and adventurous group of people. He also teaches music copyright law part time, so nobody can put anything over us when it comes to publishing contracts. His name is Kiernan Box.

Adam Donovan is, among other things, our lead guitarist. His style is adventurous and unorthodox. He treats his instrument like a formula one car driver treats his vehicle, and yet, to watch Adam on stage you might think otherwise. His favorite saying is - "There are many ways to skin a cat."

We all admire truth and beauty at Augie March, but one of us surpasses the others in his pursuit of these objectives. His name is David Williams. He is the drummer and percussionist. His heroes are predominantly in the jazz field, but he takes as much inspiration from the stories of Charles Dickens, and to a lesser degree Rudyard Kipling's forays into verse. He has a small son called Ziggy.

Singer/songwriter Glenn Richards is perhaps the most difficult member of Augie March to describe. This is largely because he is enigmatic and whether artistic people cultivate their own enigma or whether it comes naturally, it makes for a difficult task to profile them. Briefly, he has a hermit's disposition, but drink makes him wild and sociable. He has been described more than once as being 'conventionally handsome'.

Edmond Ammendola provides bass guitar and is a Melbourne native. It was initially very difficult to convince Edmond of the need to leave Melbourne and take our music to people in other places around Australia. This was due in part to his fear of aeroplanes, and his unwillingness to travel great distances in any vehicle not powered by sunshine.

The people who hear and come to believe in Augie March tend to be passionate about us and the things we do. We think that this is because there are always true songs to write and that we are not scared of writing them.

We hope you have a good experience with our music.
