Originally formed in 2007 as a quartet, the group became a duo in February 2010. Their name comes from Matsuo's interest in Celtic culture and fantasy literature; she read a book describing a goblin's "glim" and added "spank" to describe their aggressive drive towards the music industry. Their retro sound reminiscent of 1960s and 1970s rock bands has received praise from musicians such as Keisuke Kuwata, Motoharu Sano and Maki Nomiya. History Early years and debut (2007–2015) Glim Spanky was formed by Remi Matsuo during her sophomore year to perform covers at Nagano Prefecture Matsukawa High School's 2007 cultural festival. The guitarist and bassist quit after several months, and Matsuo recruited two upperclassmen in their place, including Hiroki Kamemoto. Matsuo then began writing her own material and started focusing on the band full time. Glim Spanky won the Rock Bancho held by Sony Music in December 2008 and were finalists at the 2009 teenage artists-only festival Sen
