Glasvegas - WaKS Records (2006)


In October 2006, Glasvegas released a self-financed limited edition 7" vinyl single, "Go Square Go!/Legs'n' Show" on a small independent record label called WaKS Records followed by a digital release two weeks later. This limited edition vinyl single of 500 pressings sold out within days and has since become another collectors item with the single again exchanging hands for a three figure sum on eBay. On 4 November 2006, Glasvegas sold out their launch night gig for "Go Square Go!/Legs'n' Show" held at the Glasgow Art School. In mid-December 2006, Glasvegas played a special gig in Polmont Young Offenders Institute which was also a pivotal moment for the band musically; as it was during this gig that they made the decision to move away from their reliance on drum samples. The close of 2006 saw Glasvegas play their first ever European gig at La Flèche d'Or in Paris on 28 December 2006. This gig was a notable key indicator of how the band's reputation was growing via the Internet as it was a sell out weeks before the gig took place. Glasvegas then rounded off 2006 with a gig at the Proud Galleries in Camden on New Year's Eve.
