Glasvegas.

The wonder that happens when Glasgow meets Vegas is something to be reckoned with. Glasvegas hit the MOD club last Friday and was a concert I'll be remembering when they are selling out the ACC.

The Scots had won over the crowd even before bursting on stage with "Geraldine". They continued the love fest when lead singer James Allen took off his leather coat and sported a sleeveless-t (with really deep arm holes) continueing to rock with "S.A.D. Light", "Flowers and Football Tops" and "Go Square Go". The mix of his thick Scot-accent, the awed crowd and dramatic lighting only added to the atmosphere. My fav was when they started rocking out to "My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry" which references Oasis' 'what's the story morning glory'. Hmm..I wonder if its a common phrase in that part of the world or if they are tipping their hats to the Gallaghers? [which is clearly well deserved]

After the lights went down, James and guitarist Rab Allen re-took the stage for the encore with "Please Come Back Home", then were joined with their bassist, Paul Donoghue and drummer, Caroline McKay to cap the night off with "Daddy's Gone", leaving the crowd feeling more than satisfied.

James took his time leaving the stage, high fiving the guys and kissing the girls on their hands [clearly, I was up front for a little smooch]

Phew. What a concert.

Fun facts about Glasvegas:

• Drummer Caroline McKay allegedly gets so nervous before sets, she's normally found face planted into the toilet.
• Geraldine, the infamous social worker that lead singer James Allen sings so passionately about apparently has quit her job to follow Glasvegas on tour.
• Alan McGee claimed they were "the best Scottish band he's seen in 20 years" and the "next biggest band in the world" after watching their show at King Tut's two years ago, the same venue where he signed Oasis.
• In January, Donoghue was quoted saying "[In Britian] the name's out there, and people are getting it. Now we need to go to America and really put a lot of work and a lot of effort into that." I think we've caught on.
