Thanks for the link. Initial impressions. Very good ‘fish supper with brown sauce-Saturday Night-Sauciehall Steet’ vocals.

‘Daddy’s Gone’: Moving ‘Fathers 4 Justice’ / McDonalds Sat afternoon Dad lament seen through the eyes of battered, embittered ’son’:

‘ Forget your dad, he’s gone….’

Like the twist in the tale of ‘Geraldine’. Poverty Pimps Inc, etc
“my name is Geraldine, im your social worker”….Very droll.

Like the ‘My Bloody Valentine’ / Mazzy Star- Spector-esque wall of surround-sound guitars. Spiritualized?
I’ll investigate further at their 7th Feb date in Brum and report back.

However, must say to GlasVegas:

Why not stay ‘On Message’? I have next to me The Complete Series 1-5 ‘Still Game’. Isn’t that how we, down south, like to keep Glasgow in it’s place? Surviving against all the Easterhouse - still - a - shit - house - after - all - these - years type challenges?
Oh well. You had your chance, Glasgow. You were the European City of Culture. Now it’s Liverpool. Sorry. But ‘That’s Life!’
If things get really glum: You can always move to Brum. And straight home again on the night coach….here be monsters!

i have seen them a few times they have really came on in the past year , they update their myspace site alot and often ask if anyone wants guest lists to their shows , alan mcgee (their manager) has been singing their praises for the past year . you can down load their tracks from thir myspace site alot as well and they seem to let you download when they put up new tracks

the only issue i have with them is that the NME adores them and when that happens to small bands bad things happen

They're great. "Flowers and Football Tops" is brilliant.

I saw them supporting dirty pretty things a while back, they were entertaining. The drummer a rather curvy lass had a bosom that would not stop jiggling and I felt a bit like a pervert as I could not look at anything else, hypnotic It was.

There is nothing, I repeat, NOTHING, wrong with watching jiggling tits.

BTW, send some love my way, I have a knackered back and want to be at the S&G. Hey ho.

Hey, she was on the couch earlier and I asked if she would be up for a shag, and she said no...

18 years marriage...such is life. Although tomorrow could be good.

Typical man... do you fancy a shag. :mad: Try a nicer approach, actually there can not be too much up with your back sir if you are up for the ol nookie! :p
If you are anything like my other half I am sure you have plenty of rude suggestions for alternative ways round a bad back...

Obviously I didn't couch it in those terms. It's swings and roundabouts. Oh I'm so very sickened, I am so sickened now...

Off to bed.

Brown sauce? That's an Edinburgh thing!

I'm a sucker for any new Glasgow band so I'm almost certainly going to pick up the album but if one thing would put me off any band it's the involvement of Alan McGee. I cannot stand that man.

Oh and Easterhouse is still a shithole, they have just added some 21st century dispair over the old type in the form of a mall.

I think they are very good. Bit 50s, bit Moz, very Glasweigan.

This and Joanna Newsom have been two top Skinny recommendations.

Your CDs will be in the post tomorrow Hugh. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. Joanna Newsom and Glasvegas have been the two acts of recent years to really make me sit up and take notice. They have talent to burn.

***BREAKING NEWS***

Glasvegas are signed to Tim Jonze's record label! Shock horror!

Terrible band. The drummer can't drum & the singer can't sing.

Daddy's Gone, you must have scared him off with your shrill whiney voice.

***BREAKING NEWS***

Glasvegas are signed to Tim Jonze's record label! Shock horror!

To be fair they weren't really signed to a label he just put out a couple of pieces of vinyl for them, a short term distribution deal to bridge the gap. Anyway they just signed to Columbia on the 15th and are starting the album sometime around now.

I'm completely in love with this band now, they just get better and better can't wait for the album. They have a lot of the same sensibilities as the smiths, I think they are coming from the same page. Anyone else loving them as much as me? :cool:

Heard a few bits and bobs, will give the album a whirl when it arrives.
I prefer Ballboy from Glasgi, primary school teacher by day and sharp witted lyricist by night.

I think the song Geraldine is fantastic.Hope the NME aren't building them up just so they can knock them down after they've had a bit of success.

Hmmm it's a really overly nice article coming from the NME I'm worried it could be a bit of a kiss of death but the songs are so strong I don't think it matters really. I bloody love the new single can't wait to pick it up next week and listen to it on vinyl it'll be a magic moment :guitar:

Of course it dosen't.

Go to shop and buy it.

Pox-ridden tickets for their gig here sold out in whizz-time :(

Perhaps it's time for me to retire from the gig scene...

damn usa itunes doesnt even have singles to get the b-sides:( doesnt even have the album

They did a session in the live lounge for radio 1 a few days ago.

You can still watch it here,
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/livelounge/artist/080901_glasvegas.shtml

This is the first new band in a long time I quite like. Very Spectoresque, which is a good thing. Was given a link to their performance on Jools by a friend.

I am now completely in love with them, first new band I've been excited about for ages

I think they're just about to be hyped ..

Saw them this week. Outstanding. Courteneers etc stand aside. Bordering on majestic at times. As thought out as Morrisseys Smiths without a doubt but they pull it off. Recommended to anyone with a chance of catching them.

If anyone in America is looking to get this album just found out it's getting its American digital release on October 7th, be on iTunes and Geraldine single is on there now.

Been to go and see them a couple of times on this tour and they're getting better by the day and just because I wanna show off took a cool photo in Gloucester the other day, camera in one hand, pint of Newcastle ale in the other, tah dahhhh.... :guitar:

http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/36/l_53810c3ba126440f804a4b4c0bbb4b17.jpg

They're opening for Echo & The Bunnymen on Wednesday, October 1st in NYC, Radio City Music Hall.


7:00pm, is their time, slotted.

Nah I was just lucky, most of the others are shite :rolleyes:

Damn it! i was suppose to see them tomorrow in Philly and Wednesday opening for the Bunnymen :mad:


We regret to inform you that the Glasvegas show scheduled for this evening has to be canceled. James Allan has run into visa issues in the UK and won't be able to get to America in time for the show. We're bummed too. Refunds will be available via the good folks at ticketweb. There's talk of an early January reschedule date so stay tuned.

I got this from their myspace modrevolve, it sounds like it's just the Boston gig that has been postponed at the moment if thats any help.

Hi Everyone
We are sorry to announce that due to James' Work Visa not being processed in time by the US Embassy we've had to reschedule the Boston Show to 5th January 2009. We hoped it would arrive this morning UK time and James could fly in direct to Boston but we just learned that it will now arrive Tuesday morning. This is also why this announcement is so late in the day as we hoped his Visa would arrive Monday and we could still make this gig. We are really sorry for any hassle this causes and all tickets for the new show will remain valid.

Rab x

I just got that too..fingers crossed..btw that photo you took is amazing!

Hi,

Does this mean then, that they aren't performing tomorrow w/ the Bunnymen? I haven't read or heard anything of a change according to their official websites. Just asking.

It sounds like their show in Philly tonight is gonna happen after all..fingers crossed!

Have a blast tomorrow. Are you going to the after-party at the Beauty Bar? I'm going. Should be "interesting".

Cheers!

No I'm heading home after the show. When I lived in the area I used to go to after parties there. Its' a pretty cool spot and actually doubles as a beauty salon during the day..I read that Will Seargent will be Djing at the BB. He's a really really nice guy. I met him when he spun the afterparty the last time EATB played Irving Plaza...have a good time..

Hi. can someone rpost the hometapes and extras? I bought one song on itunes and would like to hear more before I purchase the 25.00 dollar import.
I saw that someone had added the demos and extras....
thanks,
mrcoolrobot

I've fallen in love with their music, and I would really like to hear all the stuff they've released, and not just the CD and the forthcoming Christmas album. So, here are my requests, and I hope someone will be able to help me :):

( Quote from Wikipedia: )
They toured frequently from 2001 to 2006 around Scotland, releasing a limited edition double A-side single, "I'm Gonna Get Stabbed"/"Ina Lvs Rab" on CD in November 2004.

Anyone got these songs/versions?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Various non-album tracks:

"Legs 'n' Show"
A Little Thing Called 'Fear'
"Come as You Are"
"Be My Baby"
"Geraldine" (Instrumental) - 4:06 (from a promo single)
"The Prettiest Thing on Saltcoats Beach" - 6:19
"Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" - 4:54

What about these then?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

( Quote from Wikipedia: )
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"

The "original versions" of these two songs, anyone?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Daddy's gone" also seems to have been released as a Digital download EP, and I was wondering if someone has got the acoustic version of the song which is included in that EP?:

Digital download EP

"Daddy's Gone" - 4:25
"A Little Thing Called 'Fear'" - 3:43
"Come as You Are" - 3:22
"Daddy's Gone" (Acoustic) - 4:17

-------------------------------------------------------------------

If you've got any of these songs, could you please upload them onto some site? Yousendit, for example. It'd be much appreciated. :) Thanks in advance!

Hmmmm, you're asking too much.

You can ask two or three tracks, but more than 10?

You're lucky if someone posts a link of a song.

I'm lucky either way, doesn't matter that much if it's two or ten songs that gets uploaded really. I wasn't counting on getting all of them from someone on here. But of course I'm hoping to get to hear all of the songs eventually.

Okey, let's try it this way: Do you think you could reupload this file? I'd be glad. =D

You can get the album on Itunes in America and across Europe now, I will have a go at posting the demos for you in a bit when I've done my uni work. :)

Thank you! I know about the album, so I'm not looking for that, just so you know. :) I'm mostly looking for the B-sides from the (now sold out) limited edition singles they released. Yeah, just look at my list and you might know what I mean.

I think this is the file that was posted before give or take a couple of things maybe.

Hope megaupload is OK for you. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=L74MU05Y

Thank you miss_bunburry! :)
Aaalright then, I've shortened my list a bit, so if anyone have got these songs and is willing to share them, I'd be grateful!

Ina Lvs Rab
A Little Thing Called 'Fear'
Come as You Are
Be My Baby
Geraldine (Instrumental) (from a promo single)

Welcome to our side, Robby :D

oh god

i...

i....


i LIKE GLASVEGAS :eek:

just listenig to their debut... this band is fantastic!

I have come to the conclusion that I do not like them, not one bit.

Oh man, this band sucks big time.

Why am I always so late on these things?

Anyway, I think they are fantastic. I just bought the album on vinyl. Can't wait to get it!

I saw them twice when they opened for the Bunnymen, Oct. in NYC & Nov. in Liverpool.

I really like their style....Geraldine is my favorite so far of their songs.
I hope to get their album too.

i sent my mom a copy of
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1a/Glasvegas_eponymous.jpg
i have done something like that in years! thats how good they are
i hope she likes it for more than just their accents, i think she will
she always liked phil spector stuff from the 60s, this has that kind of sound
and they have scottish accents, so me mum should love it
will see :guitar:

Could someone post a download link for the songs?:

'A little thing called fear'
'Ina Lvs Rab'

Thnx.

I think alan mcgee says they we're the best scottish band since jesus and mary chain which I think is true but scotland hasn't had too many bands that you could say were great. I adore them but I dont know i think it'll be difficult for them to go in a differnt direction for the second album
