Augie March is a four-piece band, with:

Glenn Richards

- vocals, guitar, piano, banjo, front guy, responder to hecklers, lyricist extraordinaire. He writes the amazing, almost hallucinatory lyrics which characterise Augie March, and also does much of the song/melody-writing. The most extraordinary thing is that Glenn only began writing lyrics and playing guitar a year or two before Augie March formed, while he was still studying literature at Melbourne University. It all makes you want to be sick, really.

Glenn is also the chief culprit in the extreme politeness for which Augie March is known (or should be known); there is never a gig at which Glenn does not have to re-tune his guitar/s, as well as apologise for some sort of shortcoming in the performance of which only he is conscious. (Fortunately, it seems to be a habit he's beginning to grow out of, probably due to all the ribbing he gets about it. :-p ) As for his voice ... if you're here, you don't need to hear any other superlatives about it.

Adam Donovan

- guitars, mandolin, guy who does extremely cool stuff with pedals and so on. The one who refuses to bend to the rules of the stage, which dictate which bit is the front and which bit is the back. In other words, he spends most of his time on stage facing either Dave's drumkit, or the speaker which is set up behind him, and with his back to the audience.

Even in the moments when Adam turns around, his concentration is ever on his pedals - and we should all be grateful for the screaming, wailing, amazing sounds he gets out of his guitar. (I'm sure he's doing things which are still illegal in about eight states of USA...)

Very recently, there have been signs (well, maybe just one) that Adam might be starting to do some backing vocals as well.  While it seems that it was a one-off sighting in the same way a UFO is a one-off sighting (but we at least have photographic proof beyond a little blob in the sky), we can still wait and hope and heckle in the hope of seeing him near a mike again.

Edmond Ammendola

- steel string guitar, additional percussion, bass - the other members keep urging him to sing, so maybe backing vocals as well, if he can get over his shyness. Edmond spends much of his time on stage attempting to fade into the background, and succeeds quite well in doing so. His bass work is sparse, yet it always adds an extra dimension to the song in question. He lets quality stand in for quantity, and not a single note goes to waste.

Well, maybe one note. Occasionally. He's always embarrassed and deeply apologetic afterwards, though.

David Williams

- percussion, metronome, backing vocals, class clown. He gets to chat to the audience while Glenn retunes his guitar, and also liberally hands out insults to all and sundry. His work as a choirboy has provided him with an angelic voice (if not an angelic persona), and Dave also does a majority of the backing vocals, which means that he must be one of the most co-ordinated people around. Don't believe me? You try drumming (ie. moving all four limbs to different beats) and singing at the same time. I have enough problems tapping my head and rubbing my tummy, sometimes. (Of course, that might be due to a personal lack of co-ordination.)

By the way, I am in no way making any claim as to the veracity of what I have written on this page (translation: please don't sue me). Go and see them play, and judge for yourself.
