The Gilded Splinters came about by chance.
In January 2006 Singer/Songwriter Josh Buckley was evicted from his Brighton apartment for noise complaints. Answering an add in a local paper for a roommate, Buckley met keyboard player John Carbone. The two instantly hit it off, sharing nearly identical record collections. Buckley and Carbone soon started writing songs and accruing what would be the line up for The Gilded Splinters. Next on board was drummer Russ Patterson. Patterson and Buckley met at a music store in Boston where Buckley played him some demos of material he’d recorded. Frustrated with his current band situation Patterson quickly left his current band to join up with Josh and John to play music that in his words “mattered”. The Gilded Splinters were completed when bass player Glen Diesel joined on after hearing the band on myspace.
Chance struck again for the Gilded Splinters in September 2006. While playing a show at the Lakeside Lounge in NYC producer/guitarist JP Bowersock (The Strokes/ Ryan Adams) heard the band and was impressed enough to approach them after their show. After that initial meeting plans were made to start work on recording the band. For three days in January 2007 up in Woodstock NY, The Gilded Splinters laid out what was to become their debut full length simply titled “January”.
The Gilded Splinters can be seen live in their hometown city of Boston or when they are touring the east coast. You can hear their music at myspace.com/thegildedsplinters
