Made video for Daddy’s Gone

The band opened 2007 with a headline show at King Tuts Wah Wah Hut . In early February 2007 (with assistance from Alan McGee), the band made a video for one of their demos, “Daddy’s Gone”, which was shot in London and in Glasgow’s East End . This early video helped pave the way for the song’s popularity. In late February 2007, James Allan made the decision to post up all the band’s demos on MySpace for free download. These free downloads helped foster recognition about Glasvegas and soon their gigs were selling out. On 8 March 2007, the band took time out to play a low key acoustic gig in Barlinnie Prison in Glasgow. At the beginning of April 2007, Alan McGee invited the band down to London to play three consecutive club nights that he was involved in; Death Disco @ Notting Hill Arts Club, Kill Surf City @ Punk and Queen is Dead @ Borderline. Over these three days the band also produced their first black and white ‘press’ shots at Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes, London on 6 April. On 25 May, the band played their first festival date at the (now defunct) Isle of Skye music festival before playing their third prison gig at Saughton Prison, Edinburgh on 7 June. On 14 July, the band supported Dirty Pretty Things for the last time at the Hackney Empire in London which saw Glasvegas join the headliners for an encore and on 23 July 2007 another notable first was the band’s TV appearance on Death Disco TV in London at The Cuckoo Club alongside Carl Barât and Milburn .
