Your Vegas
Your Vegas was a British rock band from Leeds, England, formed by Coyle Girelli, Mat Steel, Jon Langford, Mal Taylor and Mark Heaton.
The band started playing music together while attending Prince Henry's Grammar School in Otley, West Yorkshire. Their first band was called Orka but they later changed their name to Salvadore. In December 2004 they joined forces with Mark Heaton, a friend from the Leeds music scene.
They signed with indie label White Duke Records in 2005 and the band released two self produced singles, Your Vegas and Flybuzz, the latter hitting number 12 in the UK Indie Chart. They toured the UK and in the summer of that year they performed on the unsigned stage at Leeds Festival.
In mid-2006, while taking a break from touring, Coyle visited friends in New York City where he played a few acoustic shows and handed out demos. The other four members flew out for a few weeks and the band played a handful of shows over the summer, generating interest from several major labels. By Christmas 2006 a record deal with Universal Republic was signed.
2007 began with the band being chosen by Playboy magazine as one of their first "Rock The Rabbit" bands. The band designed a limited edition Your Vegas T-shirt for the campaign and performed at Playboy's spring break event in Cabo, Mexico.
They spent the rest of the year recording their debut album, A Town And Two Cities, with producer David Bendeth (Paramore, Breaking Benjamin) at his studio in New Jersey then, mixing it at Electric Lady Studios in New York City with Brian Sperber.
In January 2008, Your Vegas released its debut EP, A Town And Two Cities EP, which reached number 27 in the iTunes rock chart. In late January they performed at the Sundance Film Festival before embarking on their first North American tour as support for The Bravery.
In March 2008, the band played several shows at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas before partnering with Pan Am for the release of their Spring/Summer 2008 collection of retro bags sold in Bloomingdale's stores in the US. The band appeared live in-store at the New York launch event. A Town And Two Cities was released in the US on 29 April, along with the leading single "In My Head".
