Based in Edinburgh, Heaven Or Las Vegas is Scotland's newest and finest music publication - we strive to bring you the best interviews, reviews and articles.
Conceived less than immaculately in deepest darkest Elgin, late 2006, Heaven Or Las Vegas strives to bring you opinionated music journalism which is both relevant and witty.
NEW!
READERS CRAPPY MUSIC PICKS!
Vitesse Xmas half time show
Supporters of Dutch Football team Vitesse will never forgive their club for letting these idiots take the stage. If hearing 'Simply the Best' wasnt bad enough, this groups quite awful performance includes woefull singing, mispoken lyrics and cringeworthy dancing. We believe a crate of Heineken is in order as compensation for everybody who managed to live through this 3 minutes of torture.

HOLV bring you two more interviews from band's that couldn't possibly be any more different. Parsons speaks to reggae band Pama International, while Greg got in touch with Dutch Gothic/Rock outfit Nemesea.
Yes, we've got that Friday feeling down here at HOLV towers, so we thought we'd give you some more vintage interviews for the benefit of your viewing pleasure. Hammond speaks to Matthew Ryan, whilst Parsons had the pleasure of interviewing Tommy Gobena from Gogol Bordello.
Those who read our interview with Glasgow based Frightened Rabbit might be wondering when they are in town. Worry no more as HOLV have their full UK tour details along with a free download of their track 'The Modern Leper' courtesy of those nice chaps at fat cat records - enjoy!
