Although influenced by a vast array of talent, you can never pigeonhole the sound that emanates from the stage at a Glasko show. It is the combination of the stark contrast in melody and dynamics that sets them apart from other Indie bands in Chicago. This local Chicago band was formed in January 2006, and has performed throughout Chicago and the Midwest ritually since then packing venues including The Double Door, Empty Bottle, Schubas, The Cubby Bear, and Subterranean. They have shared the stage with Jimmy Stafford from Train and won several local contests, including one to play at South by Southwest 2009 in Austin, TX. In addition to that, Glasko made it to the semi-finals in a contest to play at Bonnaroo 2008 and was named runner-up in the January Judging of 2006's VH1 song of the year. With the attention of Mike Haglar, Glasko finished their 11-song album Madrigold. The album was nationally released with Platform-One Entertainment in May 2009 and is now played on more than 150 college radio stations. For more information please visit www.glaskomusic.com.

I got to listen to your CD over the 4th holiday and I think you guys are truly gifted. I did pick up on your influences throughout the music on my first listen. I am so happy that I got turned onto your music. Stay focused and keep your heads high, I would hate to see such talent get lost in this stagnant music industry.
