Phew, it got all humid and sticky out there. I'll have a proper recap of day two, along with Sunday's recap on Monday. (I'm too exhausted to do it tonight, and tomorrow's an early start.)For now, here's a picture of Glasvegas' Joe Strummer to tide you over. Oh, wait that's not Joe Strummer, it's James Allan! He must've got Joe's clothes/face in the will.Actually, Glasvegas were my favorites tod...
One of the perks of being over here at SxSW, is that bands that fill arenas over in the UK can be found performing in small venues often to an audience of a couple of hundred at most. Cue the arrival of Glasvegas who two months ago were playing the UK headlining the sold out NME tour but over here in Austin there's just a small crowd in Vice, an aptly named venue which features a stage that bac...

I recently took a few of my old Phil Spector LPs (I hope he doesn't attempt to murder me for this (allegedly)), a VHS copy of "The Commitments", some haggis, and threw them all in an industrial meat grinder. It made a raucous of call-and-response songs, distortion, an old-timey nostalgic sound, and some Scottish accents thick enough to be characters in "Trainspotting". I called this monster Gla...
Will American audiences gamble on Glasvegas? 6th January sees the North American release of the critically acclaimed debut album from the Scottish four piece. Fortunately, the Yanks won't be subjected to the bewildering hype machine that has enveloped their music on these shores, and will most likely make judgement based on the perceived quality of the product. Frankly, the odds are stacked aga...

Words can't describe how much I adore Glasvegas' S/T debut album right now. I've been wearing the vinyl out almost every day, and I haven't tired of it at all. They've been proclaimed "The Best New Band In Britain" by NME and I can see why. With a thoroughly unique rock sound blending Joshua Tree [...]
Welcome to this year's first session of the MOG therapy sessions. This is where you can share everything that troubles, pleases, shames you, or all the above when it comes to musicians.I'll start. Hello, my name is Anna and I've been trying to fight my feelings for a long time, but I eventually caved. Resistance was futile, really. I'm referring to me and James Allan {singer, song-writer, and r...
Today, at Leeds, around 8:30 in the morning, snowflakes started falling. Luckily, I was awake to witness it. Now you may wonder what the big deal is. It's a big deal to me for two reasons. One is that I haven't seen any snow in over 2 years now. Secondly, despite this being a cold-related phenomenon, it always manages to warm up my heart. So I was just sitting on my bed, wrapped in my comforter...
Thursday is the new Sunday. Or I'll say anything to post this today.I found out about the cover from this blog. For some reason, I couldn't have a listen there, so I investigated myself, found it, and bought it {best 0.70 pence I ever spent}. It's wonderfully heart-breaking. Excellent balance between respecting a song and making it your own. Glasvegas' sonical fuzziness and full-of-tragedy voca...
