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. As of 2024 they have released two EPs and seven LPs, while Richards has released one solo album in 2010 and one EP as G.A. Richards and the Dark Satanic Mills Bros.[3]

Richards composed the original score for the acclaimed 2023 horror film Late Night with the Devil[4] whose directors, Colin and Cameron Haines, also directed several early Augie March video clips.

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.
