Glasvegas In Car Smash Drama

added 13 May 2008 at 16.42

Hotly-tipped Caledonian rockers Glasvegas have written on their MySpace page of being involved in a car smash incident in New York. The incident happened as the band were returning from recording their debut album.

According to a blog posted by guitarist Rab Allen, the band were taking a taxi from the recording studio when their cab drove into a car in front of them. Luckily, no one was injured.

Allen wrote: "One night after the studio we were heading home in a taxi and it crashed into another car. The other guy had gone through a red light and we drove side on into him.

"The front of our taxi was ripped off and we went into a spin. It was like slow motion. Anyways, everyone was OK. The fuckin' idiot said it was our taxi's fault 'cause we hit him.

"We got back into the cab to go home and the driver hit another car's wing mirror off. Just before we clashed mirrors [sound engineer] Kev had quote of the tour when he winced, 'He's gonnae dae it again!'. The driving in NYC is nuts!"

Assuming that Glasvegas' tenure in the Big Apple remains injury-free, the band's eagerly-anticipated debut album is expected to see the light of day in the autumn.
