Wayward Contest: Win Glasvegas signed 7-inch, plus vinyl LP and poster by being a clever girl or boy

Though the four members of Scottish band Glasvegas grew up in the east Glasgow working-class district of Dalmarnock (distinctly not home to fellow Glaswegians like Franz Ferdinand, Belle & Sebastian, et al), and though none of them had played music before, Glasvegas has become a worldwide phenomenon in the past year, playing arenas in the UK and SXSW and Coachella in the States.

Anyone who’s heard the band’s 2009 self-titled debut (out last year in the UK), an epic record awash with thundering drums, pompadoured, Spectorian romantic balladry and expansive, reverb-soaked electric guitars that recall both early U2 and ’90s British dreampop, could understand why the band’s taken off.

On Thursday, August 6, Glasvegas plays the Granada — not the Beaumont, as some sites indicate. And though that’s the same bloody night as our annual Pitch Music Showcase (alas! woe!), we at The Pitch are lovers of good music, period, and that’s why we’re offering to get you hooked up with a kickass prize package that includes

1. A limited, colored-vinyl signed 7-inch of the song “Geraldine”

2. A heavyweight-vinyl edition of Glasvegas

3. A nifty tour poster

Here’s a publicist-provided photo of the package.

Contest Closed

(Congratulations to Adam Lee of Overland Park, Kans-vegas!)

To win, all you have to do is riddle us this: “Geraldine” is about a woman who, in real life, quit her job as a social worker to do what?

Answer: To sell merch for Glasvegas on tour. Here’s a short NME article on the lovely lady.

Send your answer to jason.harper@pitch.com by 3 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14. Winner will be chosen via a drawing tomorrow afternoon before 5. Eligibility: The contest is open to residents of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa only. Viva the Midwest. Viva, Glasvegas.
