Alan McGree Praises Glasvegas

Fabled Creation Records boss Alan McGee has put his mouth into overdrive stating that Glasvegas can conquer the world.

As difficult as it is to believe, Creation was once a truly happening little label. With a strict signing policy and a rock 'n' roll ethos it stood apart from other indies due to its ambition and the frequently foul-mouthed statements attributed to its owner.

Glasvegas recently played a hometown show in Glasgow, and afterwards McGee posted out a breathless bulletin on Myspace. James Allan is a truly great songwriter," he wrote. "2,500 people in Glasgow singing ('It's My Own) Cheating Heart (That Makes Me Cry') is like a war cry set to a broken heart. Glasgow has never produced a band as good as this ever before."

"The band have got really, really good live as they can now all really play. They could end up being the biggest band in the world after watching last night. They are that good, it was that emotional."

"They make you believe in rock'n'roll. They make you believe in Glasgow, Paul (Donaghue)'s (bassist) auntie at 70, punching the air to 'Fuck You It's Over'."

"'Only in Glasgow dude,' I said. This city breathes rock'n'roll. The Glasvegas aunties at 70 are more rock'n'roll than Chris Martin will ever dream to be."
