小简介

来自苏格兰格拉斯哥的独立摇滚乐队Glasvegas，善用吉他音墙的声效和后期那种流畅上口的旋律感。主唱詹姆斯·艾伦（James Allen）的嗓音跟乐队的音乐也很搭调儿，既不缺激情，也不乏性感。这张同名专辑上市于2008年9月，在英国流行音乐专辑榜中上榜第一周，就获得了亚军的好成绩，使得Glasvegas在英国成了备受瞩目的焦点。

Glasvegas are a Scottish band from Dalmarnock, Glasgow. The band comprises James Allan (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rab Allan (lead guitar, backing vocals), Paul Donoghue (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Caroline McKay (drum kit). Since their formation in 2006, they have released five singles.

History

Formation and early years (2000–2007)

The band's line-up did not come together in early 2006 as recently speculated, but however back in 2000. After gigging around Scotland, mostly Glasgow (Where they were played glasgow Barfly dozens of times) a friend of theirs approached Alan Mcgee at Death Disco and asked him to check out their friends band "Glasvegas". At first he paid no attention, inyet the friend approached him several times, eventually Alan had a listen to the band and has backed them ever since. [1] On October 30, 2006, the band released their first self funded limited edition 7" single, "Go Square Go!". Following the release of 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. "Daddy's Gone" sold out and was voted the Number #2 single of the year by the NME.

Signing and Glasvegas (2008)

After releasing third limited edition 7" single, "It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry" on February 14, 2008 the band opted to sign for Columbia. They then won the prestigious Philip Hall Radar Award at the NME Awards two weeks later.[2] Glasvegas recorded their eponymous debut album at Brooklyn Recording Studios in New York, produced by James Allan and Rich Costey.[3] The album will be released on 8 September 2008, and will include re-recordings of "Daddy's Gone" and "It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry", the former being the second single from the album, as well as previously unreleased songs "Polmont On My Mind", "Lonesome Swan","S.A.D Light" and "Geraldine", which was the debut single from the album.
