Viva Glasvegas!

GLASVEGAS sound like the Jesus and Mary Chain, if the Reid boys had formed their noisy band circa 1962.
I enjoyed listening to the Glasvegas song "Flowers and Football Tops" while contemplating heading outside to shovel the heavy, wet snow that fell all night.
Indie music guru Alan McGee recently declared Glasvegas to be "the best Scottish band for 20 years."
That's a staggering compliment, considering all of the great bands that have tumbled out of Scotland.
Singer/guitarist James Allan, his cousin Rab Allan on guitar, bassist Paul Donoghue and drummer Caroline McKay sound like "the Jesus and Mary Chain playing the 'Grease' soundtrack," according to the BBC, which named Glasvegas as one of the 10 new bands to hear in 2008.
I like the combination of brooding indie rock with girl-group harmonies.
