Glasvegas

Sunsets over Santa Monica... Blade Runner On The Beach... Bono serenading you on the pitch at Wembley Stadium... it couldn't be further from the east end of Glasgow and yet, for Glasvegas, the spirit remains the same: passion. Since their debut eponymous masterpiece in September 2008 (critically-lauded, platinum-selling, Mercury Prize nominated in 2009), the Glaswegian four-piece have seen things we wouldn't believe: relentless global touring throughout the UK, Europe, Japan and America (a marathon six U.S. tours from October 2008 to September 2009), support tours with Oasis, Kings of Leon and U2, a myriad global festivals from Roskilde to Glastonbury, Benicassim to T in the Park and nominations for awards throughout the musical spectrum: NME, Q, Mojo, UK Music Video, Mercury Prize, XFM, Vodofone, UK Festival, Tartan Clef and the Rockbjornen Awards in Sweden, where Glasvegas are particularly loved. "It's been the best time of my life and a pure learning experience as well," avers the ever-poetic James Allan, formidably gifted vocalist, lyricist and chief songwriter. "I've seen a lot of beauty. And noticed it and totally cherished it. With a few shadows following me home at night. It's been in the grave and on the crest of a wave. It's kind of like the Forrest Gump movie, when he's running along the water, 'I don't know where the ocean ended and heaven began'. It's been amazing."
