About this Event

We're very excited to have Glasvegas coming to Surya for an aftershow party after their performance at The Scala. It's only a 5 minute walk away and Rab will be djing, add to that some great drinks deals and what better way could there be to finish a top night?



Surya holds 150 people and will be free entry, but will be first come first served after the Scala performance ends. We look forward to seeing you there







A quick reminder about Glasvegas...



The band was formed by cousins James Allan and Rab Allan in the summer of 2003 with Paul Donoghue and Ryan Ross on drums completing the line-up soon after. Local gigs in and around Glasgow were frequent and in May 2004 the band released a self-financed limited edition double A-side single, "I'm Gonna Get Stabbed"/"Ina Lvs Rab" on CD.[3] The single gained an early and positive review for Glasvegas from Rick Fulton of the Daily Record on 24 December 2004. The single (along with some early demos) gained (their first) radio airplay and favourable feedback from Jim Gellatly on his radio show 'Beatbreakers' in January 2005, which was broadcast on the now defunct Beat106FM.



Although many make the obvious observation that the band name is a mix of Glasgow (where they are from) and Las Vegas (the world capital of entertainment), the band have made it clear many times that this was never the reason why the band called themselves Glasvegas. According to James (Allan) he liked the name Glasvegas as it rolled sweetly of the tongue. Another common mistake is that the band name is split into two words "Glas Vegas" (especially in the USA) which is incorrect.



So there you have it!
