"Your Vegas seemed to sum us up. It's about escaping to a different place, wherever that is."
　　
　　Escape, along with brotherhood, is at the core of Your Vegas. Four of the five band members grew up in a small suburb of Leeds called Otley. Forming a band came naturally; according to Girelli. "There aren't many people in Otley. You find three other people near the same age into music, you're probably going to meet up and form a band."
　　
　　 At first, the concept of escape simply meant finding a sound. The group started out as a grungy, Nirvana-influenced group, but that slowly changed. A keyboardist was added; the music opened up. "Making a racket turned into thinking about songs," says guitarist Mat Steel, who offers up U2 and Depeche Mode as influences (as for contemporaries, he mentions Coldplay and The Killers).
　　
　　With its sound taking shape, "escape" now meant hitting the road. The band released a few indie singles and started touring the UK in a tiny van. "Up and down the motorway, doing what we call the toilet tours," says Coyle, referencing the bars, universities and small clubs that dot the countryside. "We'd hit islands off of Scotland, and then go all the way down to Plymouth. We even hit up the Scottish highlands--there were these small towns that no one ever plays, where the town's ancestors had settled thousands of years ago, and their families never left. It was good fun."
　　
　　Fun or not, the band found themselves wanting to take the next step. Once a proposed major label deal fell through, a bold new plan took shape--Girelli would leave the country and move to New York. "At first, I came over to play some acoustic shows and see some friends," says the singer. "But it was really apparent that New York had so much to offer."
　　
　　Oddly enough, even with his support crew back home, Your Vegas was starting to find its niche. Crowds grew bigger. Major labels started coming around. The rest of the band came over for a few weeks, and after noticing the buzz, promptly flew back home, "sold everything" (according to guitarist Steel) and relocated permanently to the States, shacking up together in Hell's Kitchen.
　　
　　"That wasn't a hard decision," says Steel. "We stick together - it's like brothers from another mother, that kind of thing. And we all wanted to do the same thing--write great, uplifting tunes and play for as many people as we can, and hopefully make people happy. We finally found the opportunity to do that by moving to the States."
