Tipped for the top Glasvegas are releasing their new single Geraldine next month on Columbia Records, and to promote the record the band are touring the UK and stopping off in Swindon tomorrow. The boys from Oxford have been recording their debut album in New York with producer Rich Costey, who has worked with Franz Ferdinand, Interpol and Muse. Glasvegas are heading for the 12 Bar, Westcott Place. They are also playing at the Glastonbury Festival and are hotly tipped as being the big thing this year.
