Kings Of Leon Take Over Hamilton, World

in
By Zack Vitiello (CHARTattack) September 21, 2009 4:32 pm
In my review of Kings Of Leon's probably last-ever Toronto club show, I noted their post-Only By The Night sound was destined for venues much bigger than Kool Haus. In less than a year, Kings Of Leon have proven that assumption totally accurate, conquering stadiums throughout North America, and having already proven to Torontonians just a few...

Lollapalooza 2009 Was For The Kids

in
By Mike McCann (CHARTattack) August 14, 2009 3:54 pm
Festivals like last weekend's Lollapalooza are supposed to be irresistible to music fiends. You know, like Yogi Bear can't say no to a picnic basket. I attended the first seven Lollas back when it was a) a traveling carnival and b) more culturally relevant, so I've struggled the last few years between wanting to go to the new "destination...

Saturday, June 28, 2009 Pilton, England Glastonbury Festival Hospitality Campgrounds 10:30 a.m. I awake in a bath of warm sweat, again. It's even worse today than it was yesterday. I run outside my tent in my underwear only to see that two older ladies are sitting in front of me having some tea — how civilized. I want to ask them if they...

Glasvegas Show Is Beautiful

in
By Sheena Lyonnais (CHARTattack) April 6, 2009 2:17 pm
White Lies and Glasvegas played separate sold-out shows in Toronto last week. I was blown away by White Lies a few days earlier and was eager to see what Glasvegas could bring, especially considering White Lies wrapped up a tour supporting the Glasgow quartet last year. The Mod Club filled quickly with a sausagefest of an audience. This looked...

Glasvegas Put On A Tired-Seeming Performance

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) May 30, 2011 2:51 pm
Maybe it was jetlag. Maybe it was too much shopping on Queen Street. Maybe it was the fact that they were playing on a tiny stage when they're used to playing much larger venues. Maybe it was exhaustion already from being on the road. Whatever it was, something was missing from Glasvegas' set at Toronto's Lee's Palace on Sunday night. While...

Glasvegas — Euphoric /// Heartbreak \\\

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) April 7, 2011 4:03 pm
Glasvegas' 2009 self-titled debut album was compared to U2 and The Jesus And Mary Chain because of its reverb-drenched guitars and singer/guitarist James Allan's passionate voice, which many likened to Bono. But sophomore album Euphoric /// Heartbreak \\\ ,while it's lyrically similar to the self-titled, moves a bit further away from Jesus And...

Glasvegas' James Allan has a bit of trouble doing an interview in this video for the Glasgow, Scotland-based band's "It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry." Why? A lady. Plain and simple. "It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry" can be found on the band's self-titled debut, which is out now.
