Watch: Glasvegas 'Daddy's Gone' live in Glasgow
Glasvegas are Johnny-Cash-clad scots, who you could call Dr.Marten-gazers. They played gig, people filmed it and now here we are sharing it.
If you don't love/hate them already, they're a band whom you may know because of Alan McGee's love for them, the BBC Culture Show championing them or more likely because their faces featured upon the cover of a certain music weekly.
Now here we are with Daddy's Gone the re-release - a once-unacceptable sell out trait which has become the norm for indie band's "hit songs" nowadays. The main reason for such course of is action is because few people in the media are prepared to stick their balls on the train tracks for a band without them being seen to be everywhere.
First time around 'Daddy's Gone' was equally loved and loathed amongst the DiS boards but not a lot of people seemed too bothered that it came out again yesterday on CD and two limited edition 7" vinyl. Collectors of indie covers might like to note a Glasvegas version of Nirvana's 'Come As You Are' is one of the b-sides, anyone heard it yet?
Anyway, the band played a homecoming gig at Glasgow’s ABC2 on 20th June and new music video website MUZU TV gave us the following footage to share with you. You may need to click next to get to it due to some technical issue.

I don't get the appeal.
He should have stuck to semi-professional football.
-
I like them.
Big sound, big songs.
Can't imagine that cover though.
-
I'm still not sure about them.
Regardless, this live version is pretty bad, no?

No technical issue folks it's the way the player works. Just click playlists and you'll see all the footage of the band. Enjoy!
-
Their Nirvana cover is pretty decent.....
compared to some of the crap ones done at Reading/Leeds!
-
im amazed that
this band even got past their first gig without someone saying "y'know...about that name..."
-
too right
I would probably have liked them last year, but I just wasn't prepared to give a band with such a terrible name a chance.
-
Did anyone hear them a few years ago before they went all Jesus and Mary Chain?
They used to be really lively 50s style rock n' roll, twas fantastic!
Don't like this stuff as much at all...
-
Great live!
Dead nice guys (and girl), modest and writing lyrics that touch a chord within many people's hearts.
I can see Glasvegas soundtracking chucking out time in pubs up and down the country, rather than hoary old deadbeats like Oasis.
McGee is on the money again.
-
shower of shite.
sound like a child being mauled by a rotty
-
Good studio band
I've seen them live three times and been hugely dissapointed everytime. I got bored of watching this video about 20 secs in.
Their studio stuff though is the stuff of dreams...
-
heh
I can never get over that when watching them.
-
they were awful when i saw them with Oasis
i saw them at the roundhouse fronting for Oasis and they were just so bad and they need to get a proper drummer it was so repetative
