Tinchy Stryder Wants to Team up with Dance Producer

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Tinchy Stryder has revealed that he is eager to collaborate with Calvin Harris in the future.

The rapper, who teamed up with N-Dubz, Amelle Berrabah and Taio Cruz on his recent album Catch 22, said that he admires Harris’s recent work.

“I love his beats and his style of music. He knows what he wants and what he’s doing, which is always key when you’re working with someone. One day we’ll definitely be doing something together,” he told DS.

The star insisted that he was not annoyed when Harris beat him to No. 1 with his album Ready For The Weekend earlier this year.

“It was all healthy competition. He’s a cool guy and I said congratulations to him when he got to No.1,” he said.

“To have a number two album is a big enough thing for me, but obviously having a No.1 is the thing that everyone wants. Maybe next time I’ll challenge him again and beat him.”

Taio Cruz’s record label wants him to stop writing so many hits.

The producer-and-singer – who penned recent UK number one single ‘Never Leave You’, which was recorded by Tinchy Stryder featuring Amelle Berrabah – has revealed his bosses have been getting angry with him for writing so many tracks for other artists.

He said: “I kept writing them and the record company kept shouting at me because I kept giving all the songs away.

The History of Glasvegas

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Glasvegas are a Scottish alternative rock band that formed in Glasgow in 2003. The band consists of James Allan (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rab Allan (lead guitar, backing vocals), Paul Donoghue (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Caroline McKay (drums).

The band’s original line-up came together in late 2003, comprising James Allan on vocals and guitar, his cousin Rab Allan on guitar, Paul Donoghue on bass guitar, and Ryan Ross on drums. They toured intermittently from 2003 to 2005 around Scotland, releasing a limited edition double A-side single, “I’m Gonna Get Stabbed”/”Ina Lvs Rab” on CD in May 2004.[1] Ryan Ross left the group in late 2004 to go to the USA. In December 2005, the band asked Caroline McKay to be their drummer. A notable early supporter of the band was Alan McGee. On 30 October 2006, the band released a self-funded limited edition 7″ single, “Go Square Go!.”

Following the release of another limited edition 7″ single, “Daddy’s Gone” on 5 November 2007, Glasvegas found themselves at the centre of a bidding war from several major record labels.[citation needed] “Daddy’s Gone” sold out and was voted the number two single of the year by NME magazine. After releasing their third limited edition 7″ single, “It’s My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry” on 14 February 2008, the band opted to sign to Columbia. They then won the prestigious Philip Hall Radar Award at the NME Awards two weeks later. Glasvegas recorded their eponymous debut album, Glasvegas, at Brooklyn Recording Studios in New York. The album was produced by James Allan and Rich Costey. The album was released on 8 September 2008, and included re-recordings of “Daddy’s Gone” (the second single from the album), “It’s My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry,” and “I’m Gonna Get Stabbed” (retitled “Stabbed,” and featuring the backing music of Beethoven’s “Moonlight” Sonata), as well as previously unreleased songs “Polmont on My Mind,” “Lonesome Swan,” “S.A.D. Light,” and “Geraldine,” which was the first single from the album.

In October 2008, Glasvegas recorded a Christmas-themed mini-album, A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like a Kiss), over twelve days–ten of which in a Transylvanian church in Romania–and was released on 1 December 2008.The band headlined the 2009 NME Awards Tour in January 2009, following their own US and UK tour. They also supported Oasis on a number of their European tour dates, and also supported them on their largest UK Stadium Tour playing at Slane Castle on 20 June, 2009. They will also support U2 in Dublin’s Croke Park on July 24, 2009, Wembely Stadium on August 15, 2009,Hampden Stadium on August 18, 2009 and the Millennium Stadium on 22 August, 2009.
