…Your Vegas has an inspiring history…. Check it out…

..It all began in a small suburb of Leeds called Otley, where the band naturally formed. According to Girelli : ”You find three other people near the same age into music, you’re probably going to meet up and form a band.”

..And this is how it all began…They started out as a “grungy, Nirvana-influenced group” but over time the music opened up far more….

..And before they knew it the band was releasing a few indie singles and started touring the UK….

“Up and down the motorway we woud go – doing what we call the toilet tours” says Coyle.

..their travels ranged from hitting the islands off of Scotland right down to visiting Plymouth..

But Your Vegas wanted more than this… and took the next step after a proposed major label deal fell through…

…guess where they travelled to?? Where do all Stars want to be??

EXACTLY!..

Good old NEW YORK!!

…Their crowds grew bigger, major labels started coming around…and this was their real start to their career.

And all band members had one GOAL:

……

…“Write great, uplifting tunes and play for as many people as we can, and hopefully make people happy. We finally found the opportunity to do that by moving to the States.” Says Steel.

New York had been their opportunity to show the world their talent… and they succeeded… they recorded their album with David Bendeth last April naming the album: “A town and two cities”,

which reflects the bands past and present.

Coyle describes it as: “We grew up in a small town, and then spent a lot of time in Leeds – which is an amazing city for musicians. Then we came here to the States, and that was our last inspiration before recording the album. So I guess it’s about our journey, in a town and two cities".

How inspiring is their history?
