Extra information

After picking up the prestigious Philip Hall Radar Award at this years NME Awards, and coming 4th in the BBC Sounds of 2008 poll, Glasvegas released 2 singles (Geraldine and Daddy's Gone through Columbia Records), followed by their self-titled debut album, co-produced by James Allan & Rich Costey (Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, Muse). The band are releasing a Christmas album on December 1st, which comes as a bonus CD with the album Glasvegas, featuring 6 new tracks recorded in Transylvania.


There target audience i would say is people between the ages if 18-mid 30's as the band are not young teenagers therefore they behave in a more mature way which may appeal to the old audience. I would say they appeal to both male and female in an equal balance, therefore covering all aspects of gender. The lifestyle they would appeal to would be working/middle class people as the band themselves are not rich upper class people, they are more working/middle class ordinary people who enjoy playing music therefore may appeal to the audience which is most like themselves.


The image they portray is a very mature group of adults who only wear black. They also were black and james allen (lead singer) wears black glasses and very rarely takes them off. The type of clothes is just simple black jeans/trousers and black long sleeved tops, with black shoes so its a very simple dress code they all follow.
