Glitoris (a portmanteau of "glitter" and "clitoris") are a four-piece punk rock band from Canberra ACT, Australia. The band is composed of Keven 007 (vocals and guitar), Malcolm (bass), Mickey (drums) and Andrew (lead guitar).

Glitoris are known for their use of punk rock sounds and utilisation of humorous and political subject matter in their lyrics. The group occasionally incorporate multi-layered vocal harmonies into their sound and usually perform in vivid costumes and make up. Their fanbase are known as the Gliterati. The band are popular amongst the LGBTQI+ community and often speak out on matters of gender and sexual equality.

The band, initially comprising Tony (Drums), Sophie Chapman (Bass) and Keven 007 (vocals and guitar) began as a one-off protest band/gig in 2014 where they played in the local festival ‘You Are Here’ fully naked and covered in glitter.’ The show sold out and they decided to continue. In late 2014, they recruited Andrew on lead guitar.

In 2015, Glitoris recorded their 4-track debut ‘The Disgrace at Infidel Studios, Queanbeyan. Sophie left Glitoris in 2015 and the band recruited Malcolm on bass.[citation needed]

In September 2016, the band signed to Buttercup Records and released The Disgrace.

Later in 2016, the band headlined Art Not Apart's Sound and Fury show, were special guests on Regurgitator's Human Distribution tour and in December 2016, they won Best Live Act (ACT) at the National Live Music Awards of 2016.

On 20 January 2017, Glitoris released a single "Trump Card" in protest at the inauguration of President Donald Trump. The track featured Trump quotes from his campaign trail and was accompanied by a video depicting Glitoris performing the song in the studio. At the end of the video, the group sing in four-part harmony and are seen urinating on a picture of the president.

In 2017, Glitoris performed at Thrashville festival, shared bills with Frenzal Rhomb and Shonen Knife, as well as performing with Amanda Palmer at the National Carillon.
