== History ==
=== Formation and early years (2000–2007) ===
The band's line-up did not come together in early 2006 as recently speculated, but back in 2000. After gigging around Scotland, mostly Glasgow (where they played Glasgow's Barfly dozens of times) a mutual friend approached [[Alan McGee]] at Death Disco and asked him to check out their friends' band "Glasvegas". At first he paid no attention, and yet the friend approached him several times. Eventually Alan had a listen to the band and has backed them ever since. <ref>[http://www.stv.tv/content/out/music/videointerviews/display.html?id=opencms:/out/music/video_interviews/glasvegas_video_interview Glasvegas: Rough glamour, video interview] with stv.tv/music</ref> On [[October 30]], [[2006]], the band released their first self-funded limited edition 7" single, "[[Go Square Go!]]". Following the release of a 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) ===
{{Non-free comic}}
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 Records|Columbia]]. They then won the prestigious Philip Hall Radar Award at the [[NME Awards]] two weeks later.<ref>{{cite news |title=Glasvegas: 'We've yet to earn our award' |url=http://www.nme.com/news/nme-awards/34798 |publisher=''[[NME]]'' |date=2008-02-29 |accessdate=2008-06-26}}</ref> Glasvegas recorded their eponymous debut album at Brooklyn Recording Studios in New York, produced by James Allan and [[Rich Costey]].<ref name=NMEApril08>{{ cite journal |coauthors = Eppel, Guy; Johnson, Richard | year = | month = | title = Glasvegas' 12-Hour Sessions to Finish Album| issue = 26 April 2008 | pages = 8 | publisher = ''[[NME]]'' | accessdate = 2008-05-11 | quote = }}</ref> The album was released on 8 September 2008, and includes 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.<ref name=NMEApril08/>

=== Second Album ===
Having only just released their debut album, the NME claim that Glasvegas are putting together the plans to record their second album in Romania, in an old Transylvanian church. Speaking with [[The Skinny (magazine)|The Skinny]] in a July 2008 interview, singer James Allan confirmed not only this, but that it would in fact be a Christmas album.<ref>[http://www.theskinny.co.uk/article/43448-what-happens-in-glasvegas The Skinny - What Happens in Glasvegas...]</ref>
