Glasgow Artists - Glasvegas

Glasgow’s answer to Indie Rock band is definitely Glasvegas. The band formed in 2003 but it really wasn’t until their debut album “Glasvegas” was released in 2008 that they became universally known.

A band that started off playing just a few local gigs in Glasgow became known worldwide and over the years have been nominated for various awards in 10 different award ceremonies including the NME Awards and the Q Awards.

The band still stay true to where they are from having performed a FREE concert on the steps of The Royal Concert Hall on Buchanan street in Glasgow on Monday 4^th April, performing in the rain the band showcased some new stuff to a gathering crowd of over 1000 people.

This concert spurred great support for the band and was a great way for the band to gain a lot of very positive publicity. Many who hadn’t heard the band before where introduced to their music, I think this was a great “stunt”, a way in which the band could achieve free publicity and a growing fan base.

With the beginning of this year starting with the announcement of a Scottish tour, receiving great feedback, Simon Price of The Independent on Sunday, stated that:

“Glasvegas are still – and we desperately need this right now – a band to believe in"

With a huge following, especially in Scotland, Glasvegas are a band that continue to grow in popularity within the music industry.
