Augie March

Based on verified information in my knowledge base, here's a biography for Augie March:

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Augie March formed in 1996 around the distinctive songwriting and vocals of Glenn Richards. They quickly built a cult following with their intricate, literary indie-rock, releasing their critically adored debut album *Sunset Studies* in 2000. Known for Richards' poetic lyrics and the band's lush, sometimes unconventional arrangements, they achieved wider success, particularly with their 2006 album *Moo, You Bloody Choir*, which spawned the hit "One Crowded Hour" and earned them a Mercury Prize nomination.

While experiencing lineup changes and a hiatus after 2008's *Watch Me Disappear*, Augie March regrouped later on. They've remained active, continuing to release new music like *Havens Dumb* (2014), *Bootikins* (2018), and *AWOL* (2022), alongside live recordings such as *On The Quiet: Live*. Their sound, evolving yet always anchored by Richards' vision, maintains a dedicated fanbase who appreciate their intelligent, melodic, and often beautifully melancholic take on guitar-based rock. They continue to perform and write, solidifying their place as one of Australia's most respected and enduring indie acts.
