The band's self titled debut album Glasvegas was released on 8 September 2008 and reached #2 on the UK Album Chart, and was only (just) kept from the top spot by Metallica who released their album the same week. At the end of September 2008, Glasvegas embarked on their first mini tour of the United States playing Philadelphia, supporting Echo & the Bunnymen at the Radio City Music Hall in New York, Baltimore, Washington DC, before returning to New York City to play the Mercury Lounge. On 6 October 2008, Glasvegas started recording a Christmas-themed second album, A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like a Kiss), with a view to releasing it in time for Christmas 2008. Initial recording began at the Electric Lady Studios before the band moved to a Transylvanian Castle in Brasov, Romania. It was the band's intention to release a full album containing ten brand new tracks but due to their punishing schedule they could only complete six tracks and the album instead became an E.P.. It was released on 1 December 2008 as a limited edition standalone CD and was also released as a Special Edition CD Box Set alongside their debut album Glasvegas. Glasvegas ended 2008 with a UK tour through December culminating with a headline gig at the Edinburgh Hogmanay Street Party on 31 December 2008.
