Glasvegas

Glasvegas are a Scottish indie rock band from Glasgow. The band consists of James Allan (vocals), Rab Allan (lead guitar), Paul Donoghue (bass guitar) and Jonna Löfgren (drums). The band received critical acclaim for their debut album Glasvegas which was released in September 2008, reaching No. 2 in the UK Album Charts and was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in September 2009.

The NME declared, "If The Libertines defined the start of the decade and Arctic Monkeys its middle, then Glasvegas are almost certainly going to define its end and beyond." Their debut album went on to enjoy success in the UK (where it went Platinum) and in Sweden (where it went Gold). The impact of the band in the UK and success of their debut album did not go unnoticed in North America, which saw the band tour an unprecedented six times between October 2008 and September 2009. The band have mentioned on many occasions during interviews of their commitment to making the breakthrough in the USA and Canada. On 14 December 2010, the band announced the appointment of a new drummer, Jonna Löfgren from Boden in Sweden.

Glasvegas's second album Euphoric Heartbreak was released on 4 April 2011 reaching No.10 in the UK and No.1 in Sweden, receiving critical acclaim. The band then moved onto their biggest headline European tour to date in April/May 2011. The highlight of the tour came on 19 May 2011 when Glasvegas headlined and sold out the 3500 capacity Globans Annex in Stockholm. However the following day Sony notified the band that they would be terminating their contract. The Indie Rock band and their Major Label officially parted company on 4 August 2011.

On 24 November 2012 the band announced on their Facebook page that their 3rd album will be called Later...When The TV Turns To Static and is slated for release in the Spring/Summer of 2013.
