About Glovebox
A Bold Type of Change MX - Melbourne Based Newspaper Experimenting with her computer helped singer Mishkas find inspiration for more than just an album cover. By the time the Queensland born St Kilda based singer had finished scrolling through the typefaces on offer, she had renamed her band. "We got it from the fonts," Mishka explained, when asked how the Melbourne foursome came up with Glovebox. "There's a font called Glovebox on Photoshop. So that's where we got it - from the computer. "(The font itself) is a bit too squiggly for us, but we loved the name." Formerly the Positronics, Glovebox was initally made up of Mishka & friend and composer Grainger Lock. Both from Brisbane, the duo honed its skills in London. But even though Mishka describes Glovebox'x sound as "so Brit-Euro it's not funny", the going was tough in the UK. "As an Australian musician it was pretty hard," she said. "I went for a few auditions and stuff, but it is tough over there." Fast-forward seven years, and that statement no longer holds true. For starters they have been developing their "electrorganic rocktronic, poptronic - all the tronics" sound in Victoria. Glovebox also gained two more members, guitarist Morris Esposito and drummer Peter Cottier, as well as international acclaim. Last month they won the "Best New Hot Adult Contemporary Group" category at the New Music Weekly Awards in LA. There they shared the billing with the likes of Gwen Stefani, Rob Thomas, Maroon 5 and The Black Eyed Peas. "I want the world to hear what we do," she said. * Glovebox will play The East, Lygon St East Brunswick, tomorrow - Evonne Barry
