Glenn Thompson (Custard)
An interview with Custard drummer (and sometimes singer and guitarist) Glenn Thompson, who was also a member of The Go-Betweens from 2001-2006.
Former Brisbane-based band Custard initially called it a day in 2000, bowing out with the sardonically titled compilation album Goodbye Cruel World.
The band reformed nine years later for what had been intended as a one-off performance for Queensland 150th birthday celebrations at Riverstage.
Several more “one-off” reformations followed before the four-piece – singer/guitarist David McCormack, drummer/singer Thompson, guitarist Matthew Strong and bass player Paul Medew – convened in a studio for a weekend in February 2015 and laid down the foundations for Come Back All is Forgiven, their first album since 1999’s ARIA-winning Loverama.
Custard have since brought out another studio album, 2017’s The Common Touch, as well as a 2018 live album (The Band – Live in the Basement), and in May, the band released a new LP, Respect All Lifeforms.
