Glasvegas at Hollywood Forever...

Hollywood Forever cemetery is an appropriate venue for a band obviously endepted to teenage tragedy songs, Phil Spectre and the Shangri-La's... The cemetery's Masonic Lodge is a tiny venue (no more than 250 capacity) and the intimate setting suited a stripped down Glasvegas - with just James and Rab taking the stage. It would have nice to see the full band in action (especially after the Coachella no-show) but taking risks with the lineup and venue are the type of decisions that make Glasvegas special...

James Allen rotated between acoustic guitar, electric organ and piano with Rab Allen providing his wall of sound guitar textures. The Allen's were joined briefly by Paul Cantelon, who came on to play 'Moonlight sonata' for 'Stabbed'...
