Glasgow, United Kingdom (2003 – present)
Glasvegas is an alternative/shoegazing band which formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 2003, the band is composed of James Allan (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rab Allan (lead guitar), Paul Donoghue (bass guitar) and Caroline McKay (drums). Their music is influenced by artists such as Wall of Sound producer Phil Spector and other, more recent, bands which share that same aesthetic such as My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain.
The band’s line-up came together in early 2003, and later that year were seen for the first time by Scottish music industry mogul Alan McGee at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut club in Glasgow. Former Creation Records boss McGee would go on to become one of the band’s most vociferous supporters. In May 2004, the band released their debut single I’m Gonna Get Stabbed. The band’s original drummer Ryan Ross left in 2005 and Caroline McKay was asked to replace him.
On 30th October 2006, the band released their first self funded limited edition 7” single, Go Square Go!. Following the release of their second limited edition 7” single,
Daddy’s Gone in November 2007, Glasvegas found themselves at the centre of a bidding war from several major record labels. Later that same year, Daddy’s Gone was voted #2 single of the year in an end of year poll by the NME.

Terrible band. Saw them during a Muse gig before they got famous and the crowd hated them, they just couldn't play like at all. And their drummer.. is it meant to be some kind of sick joke? Floor tom. Snare. Floor tom. Snare. Floor tom. That's all she can do along with her fat 40 year old face wobbling while playing. They're just not good.

Blah bah blah, are there any shoutboxes out there where we don't get a 'X is better than this' comment? Glasvegas' existence doesn't negate any other bands. Sheesh.

Too bad their best song isn't even in the top-fifteen :( Cruel Moon is criminally underrated.

Amazing live! Raw and gritty performance that feels real and powerfull. The drummer reminds me of Meg White in a very good way .Overall I was blown away by the understated but incredible performance.
