About The Vainglories

Gillian Alder has been writing scores for imaginary films as The Vainglories since 2003. Whilst living in Melbourne she played in melodic pop band Tempted and electronica duo Sweet Violentine, and contributed music to theatre, live improvised comedy and (actual) short film. In 2007 she moved to Brighton and has been working on creating a live performance set from The Vainglories' back catalogue of extraterrestrial lullabies. The Vainglories' music has featured on Australian radio stations SBS, PBS and Triple J, and was selected for a Melbourne Fringe Festival compilation album in 2004. In January 2008 The Vainglories played her debut live gig at Brighton's Spirit of Gravity. She is looking forward to 2008 being a year of many more live performances and hopefully more experience in dealing with the grammatical problems thrown up by writing about a single person who is using a name that is probably more suited to a band.

daniel palomo vinuesa	Jun 6 2007 8:15 PM beautifull and dark aymphonic sounds I ear some fantomatic kate bush in circus freak, my imagination?
Andy	May 24 2007 8:05 PM Ha ha. You're now on my iPod so I'll be able to listen properly while on holiday. As I am from tomorrow. Excellent news about Brighton. Even more opportunity to wind you up. It's going to be so much fun! Never liked The Sleepy Jackson. Will have to check out the others. Thoughts on Architecture in Helsinki? Andy x
Andy	May 19 2007 11:25 PM Ha. Your music is rubbish. It sounds like Boards of Canada (and not even Roygbiv, which is awesome). I think you should stick to the drugs. (something like that?)
corinna jane	Apr 26 2007 5:06 AM Hi Gill! How lovely to hear back from you, way over there on the other side of the world. I will indeed upload some more stuff pronto for your listening pleasure! Hope London is treating you kindly... If not, I will head on over there and sort them out! Possibly. :) Corinna
Aine	Apr 25 2007 8:49 PM Hey there. I didn't realise you were in the UK till a few weeks ago. Jase and I are not really into travelling so i think the next time we will catch up is when you get back home. Life is going well, still enjoying life and making the most of it. Hopeing to catch up with Amy when she is up here. Will email soon. A x
corinna jane	Apr 25 2007 4:44 AM Hi Gill, How is the new homeland? Your music is anthemic and sweeping in a subtle way! Really like what I hear. Hope all is going well. Corinna
