Glen Meadmore was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. As a teenager, Meadmore played bass and sang with Winnipeg punk band The Psychiatrists. He later became involved in performance art, and appeared on local public access television on his own cable show. Glen is 6'8" tall.

Meadmore moved to Los Angeles in the early 1980s. He continued working as a performance artist, appearing at the famed punk, avant garde, artist hangout the Anti-Club where he became renowned for his outrageous performances. During this time, he met queer political performance artist Vaginal Davis and the two formed the band Pedro, Muriel and Esther, also known as PME, one of the earliest queer punk bands to emerge. Both Meadmore and "Vag" performed with the band in drag, and were photographed in drag for the cover of their EP on Amoeba Records. Meadmore also utilized his drag persona for underground films he was making with director John Aes-Nihil, such as The Drift. He abandoned this persona in his later films, once again playing male roles.

Meadmore developed a "Christian country punk" persona for solo albums he began recording in 1985. Glen's first two albums blended country stylings and country-style "yodeling" with new wave synthpop production popular at the time, which proved to be an odd and striking mélange.

Glen's third album, Boned, dropped the synths and moved into loud, grungy country punk territory, with lots of feedback.

On his fourth album, Hot, Horny and Born Again, produced by Jack Curtis Dubowsky, Glen showed off improved musicianship and performances, and some of these songs were included in the Bruce LaBruce film Hustler White. During the 1980s Glen had corresponded with serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Gacy did several paintings of Glen, one of which appears on the cover of his album Hot, Horny and Born Again.

Meadmore's most recent recording, Cowboy Songs For Lil Hustlers, produced by Steve Albini, continues in the vein set by Hot, Horny and Born Again. Glen continues to tour and perform as a three-piece in the style of these last two albums, which are a culmination of his unique style.

Glen has performed and recorded with other artists and performers, including Helot Revolt. Glen's band includes Dave Kendrick, a former drummer of Devo.

To put it simply, "We play gay christian country punk with plenty of songs about cock-sucking and praising Jesus"
