Early life


Richards was born in Shepparton, Victoria on 29 December 1973. Richards saved up enough money to buy his first guitar by working long hours on the docks in Fremantle, Western Australia.


With Augie March


Richards joined Augie March in August 1995, playing his first gig with them five years later.

To date they have released two EPs and six LPs, while Richards has released one solo album in 2010 and one EP as G.A. Richards and the Dark Satanic Mills Bros.[3]

Glenn now lives with his family in Tasmania in West Hobart, a suburb of Hobart with views of the city, the Derwent Estuary and the surrounding suburbs.
