Your Vegas - Touring and Television

Touring and Television

The rest of 2008 saw the band continuously on the road across the US and Canada, as they completed six major North American tours including supporting two tours with The_Bravery, as well as several dates on tour supporting Duran Duran. Over summer Your Vegas headlined their own east coast tour of America and performed at various US Music festivals, including The Bamboozle, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and All Points West. In November they were once again an opening act, this time touring the US and Canada as support for Shiny Toy Guns.

Your Vegas made its US national network television debut on 5 May 2008 when they performed debut single, "In My Head", on Last Call with Carson Daly.

Avid football fans, in November 2008 Your Vegas founded their own celebrity football team along with MLS Magazine called Champions United. On 22 November 2008, they played a charity football match against Hollywood United, which resulted in a 7-7 draw. Proceeds raised from the event went towards helping hurricane victims in Houston. Since the event Coyle and Jon have participated in a number of Hollywood United games and events.

Early 2009 saw the band come off the road and begin writing their second album. In March they took some time out to perform several shows again at the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas, and then again in the summer months for a series of performances in New York. Labeled by the band as 'The Blitz', Your Vegas performed over 20 shows in under 40 days in NYC throughout the summer road testing new material.

Currently, a segment from their song "Salvador" is being used as the theme song for the Science Channel documentary Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero.
