"We're so excited to play the 'entertainment capital of the world' explained Glasvegas' enigmatic frontman James Allan. "And where else could we play except in a wedding chapel of course?!" With a love of all things Elvis and a band name inspired by this city, it's hard to believe the members of Glasvegas have never been to Las Vegas. "Las Vegas has always seemed like another planet to us," explained Allan. "Weird, unreachable and glamorous. Our love for the late great Elvis Presley and his infamous Las Vegas shows is the best inspiration we could wish for."
