GLASVEGAS

[scotty]

The band's original line-up came together in 2003, comprising cousins James and Rab Allan on guitars and vocals, Paul Donoghue on vocals and bass guitar, and Ryan Ross on drums. They toured frequently from 2003 to 2006 around Scotland, releasing a limited edition double A-side single, "I'm Gonna Get Stabbed"/"Ina Lvs Rab" on CD in May 2004. Ross left the group in late 2004, being replaced by Caroline McKay. A notable early supporter of the band was Alan McGee. On 30 October 2006, the band released a self-funded limited edition 7" single, "Go Square Go!".

Following the release of another limited edition 7" single, "Daddy's Gone" on 5 November 2007, Glasvegas found themselves at the centre of a bidding war from several major record labels. "Daddy's Gone" sold out and was voted the number two single of the year by NME magazine. After releasing their third limited edition 7" single, "It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry" on 14 February 2008, the band opted to sign to Columbia. They then won the prestigious Philip Hall Radar Award at the NME Awards two weeks later.[ Glasvegas recorded their eponymous debut album, Glasvegas, at Brooklyn Recording Studios in New York. The album was produced by James Allan and Rich Costey. The album was released on 8 September 2008, and included re-recordings of "Daddy's Gone", "It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry" and "I'm Gonna Get Stabbed" (retitled "Stabbed"), the former being the second single from the album, as well as previously unreleased songs "Polmont on My Mind," "Lonesome Swan," "S.A.D. Light" and "Geraldine," which was the first single from the album.

Scotty, these guys are all class. Good to hear their accent coming through in their songs and anyone that can pull off a falsetto is all good in my book.

Thanks for the post.

great news.

The self-titled album's nice, imo... first song I heard was "Geraldine" on MTV Brand New - the album's nowhere to be gotten in Holland so I got it in Liverpool... the video attracted my attention because of a familiar Ric bass headstock shape.

I hear they're opening for U2 on the tour somewhere?
