Their Story

It all starts in 2015, after having seen Slash together in concert in Nice, Matthias proposes to Killian to start their own band. They then begin their search for musicians to complete their line-up. It's in 2017 that David, long time friend of Killian, joins the band. The composition evolves over the months, seeing several musicians come and go, to finally see Joan join the ranks as a bassist at the end of 2018, who will introduce them to Roman, this one becoming the drummer of GATG in 2019. 

About The Name

"The "at the Gate" comes from an eventful night when the police showed up at the gate ("at the Gate" by the way) for nightly disturbance while we were composing one of the songs on our EP. The "Glamour" simply came from a brainstorming session to find a transparent word that could be used in both English and French."

Anecdote(s)

"As far as the story behind a song, there is 'Such a Slut' which is the song we were writing the night the police showed up. So that's kind of where we got our name from."

-Glamour At The Gate-

"A good memory of opening for Klone was when we opened for them on the last date of their acoustic tour. It was our first show with Joan, who had just joined the band 2 weeks before. The Klone guys were really cool and we had a lot of fun that night. We even got our first concert review, which was very glorious!"

"A positive phrase for our fans: follow your dreams, you are free, no one has the right to come between you and your ambitions, so go for it!"

Musical Influences

"Our music draws a lot of inspiration from the big names of the various decades of rock, like Guns N'Roses, Metallica, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, the Doors and many others."
