Augie March Biography

Augie March isn't your typical rock band. The quartet, who hails from Melbourne, Australia, gets their name from the 1954 novel The Adventures of Augie March by Saul Bellow, and literary elements are woven throughout this band's music. Guitarist/singer/songwriter Glenn Richards, guitarist Adam Donovan and drummer David E. Williams grew up in Shepparton, Victoria, Australia but didn't form Augie March until they reunited after college, when English major Richards showed his friends some songs he had written. Donovan and Williams, who studied music at school, recruited bassist Edmond Ammendola to join the fledgling band and Augie March's lineup was complete. After deciding the prose of Bellow described the imaginative, lyrical songwriting of Richards, the band decided on a name and soon signed with Pa Records.Augie March released their debut EP, Thanks for the Memes, is 1998 and another EP, Waltz, followed with the single "Asleep in Perfection" securing the band a record contract with BMG Australia soon after. Keyboardist Rob Dawson joined Augie March just in time for the group to record their first full-length album and Sunset Studies debuted in mid-2000. Although the album was well received and made the Australian music charts, Dawson was tragically killed in an automobile accident in January 2001 and Augie March took a hiatus to recover from their loss. The remaining band members cooped up in an abandoned telephone company building to begin working on their next album, which featured keyboardist Kiernan Box; Strange Bird was released in Australia in 2002 and on SpinArt in the U.S. in 2004. Augie March toured to support the album before returning home to record Moo, You Bloody Choir, which was delayed but finally released in Australia in 2006 and in the U.S. by Jive/Zomba in 2007. Augie March is currently recording their fourth full-length album.

    Augie March Ringtones

    Augie March perfectly describes their style of music in the lyrics of "One Crowded Hour" from their most recent album, Moo, You Bloody Chorus. "Far from these nonsense bars and their nowhere music," are the poetical words of Augie March singer/songwriter Glenn Richards, who formed the band with childhood friends Adam Donovan and David E. Williams. The group adopted the name from Saul Bellow's 1954 novel The Adventures of Augie March and added bassist Edmond Ammendola to complete their quartet before releasing their debut EP Thanks for the Memes in 1998. Waltz followed later that year on the heels of hit single "Asleep in Perfection."Augie March landed a record deal with Australian BMG, who released their first full-length effort, Sunset Studies, featuring the late keyboardist Rob Dawson in 2000, who was replaced by Kiernan Box for 2002's Strange Bird and 2006's Moo, You Bloody Choir. You can purchase the lead track off Augie March's most recent album, "One Crowded Hour," as your next ringtone while you wait for the eccentric Australian rock group to release their fourth studio album. Beginning with the lyrics, "Now should you expect to see something that you hadn't seen/In somebody you'd known since you were sixteen/if love is a bolt from the blue, then what is that bolt but a glorified screw?" and once you purchase this music tone you will be so entranced you may have to remember to answer your phone each time it rings!
