Glyders, Lovers & Lollypops, Porto, 20.04.2026.

Lovers & Lollypops’ garage, transformed into a concert venue, was the chosen stage for Glyders, a three-piece from Chicago, performing in Porto.

It was a perfect setting. Garage rock is one of the distinctly American strands running through their sound, alongside southern rock, psychedelia, experimentalism, classic rock ’n’ roll, blues, and even country, all filtered in their own way.

The metronomic cadence of Miles Luttrell, the guest drummer on this tour, and the powerful bass lines of Eliza Weber form the rhythmic engine that carries Josh Condon’s guitar lines. He moves between melody and dissonance, between substance and explosion, between clarity and change, between a stable, conventional structure and sudden shifts in cadence and time signatures.
Over this, his somewhat cryptic lyrics take shape, supported and expanded by Eliza’s harmonies.

A sense of unity emerges, creating a deep fusion between band and audience, where bodies, legs, and heads respond instinctively. The ten tracks from their two albums sound more intense live, more elusive, even when played right in front of us.

There was even time for an uninterrupted guitar string change, met with enthusiasm by what Josh called a “very polite” audience, and for an encore with the long and multifaceted Steppin’ / Tell Me About the Rabbit.

Rock is alive. It crosses our path, then disappears in a cloud of dust.
