Vaselines Tickets for Vaselines UK Tour 2011
The Vaselines are an alternative rock band from Glasgow, Scotland. Formed in 1986, Vaselines was originally a duo between its songwriters Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee, but later added James Seenan and Eugene’s brother Charlie Kelly on bass and drums respectively from the band Secession. McKee had formerly been a member of a Vaselines named The Pretty Flowers with Duglas T. Stewart, Norman Blake, Janice McBride and Sean Dickson. Eugene Kelly had formerly played in The Famous Monsters.
Vaselines formed in 1986, and released two short EPs, Son of a Gun, which featured a cover of Divine’s “You Think You’re a Man” on its B-side, and Dying for It, which featured the songs “Molly’s Lips” and “Jesus Doesn’t Want Me for a Sunbeam,” both of which Nirvana would later cover. In 1989 Vaselines released their first album, Dum-Dum, on 53rd and 3rd Records. The band broke up shortly after its release. Vaselines briefly reformed in 1990 to open for Nirvana when they played in Edinburgh.
Though Vaselines were not widely known outside of Scotland during their short career, their association with Nirvana brought exposure to Vaselines. Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain once described Kelly and McKee as his “most favorite songwriters in the whole world”. With their songs “Son of a Gun” and “Molly’s Lips” covered on Nirvana’s album Incesticide and “Jesus Doesn’t Want Me for a Sunbeam” covered on MTV Unplugged in New York, Vaselines gained a new audience. At the 1991 Reading Festival, Kelly joined Nirvana on stage for a performance of “Molly’s Lips.” In 1992, Sub Pop released The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History, a compilation that contained The Vaselines’ entire body of work.
Kelly went on to found the band Captain America, supporting Nirvana on their U.K. tour. Following solo performances Kelly released the album Man Alive in 2004. McKee founded Vaselines Suckle along with Seenan and released her first solo album, Sunny Moon, in 2006.
In the summer of 2006, McKee and Kelly took to the stage together for the first time since 1990 to perform a set of Vaselines songs, as part of a joint tour to promote their individual solo albums.
The Vaselines reformed on the April 24, 2008 for a charity show for the Malawi Orphan Support group at Glasgow’s MONO venue. Invitation was by word-of-mouth with no press announcements and Vaselines played to a packed, enthusiastic audience.
The Vaselines performed on May 16, 2008 at Scotland’s Tigerfest. Members of Belle & Sebastian supported their live set. Vaselines then played their first-ever U.S. performance at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ on July 9. Vaselines also performed at Sub Pop Records’ 20th Anniversary SP20 music festival on July 12 at Marymoor Park just outside Seattle WA.
On March 27, 2009, Vaselines played their first London date in 20 years at the London Forum.
On May 5, Sub Pop released Enter the Vaselines. A deluxe-edition reissue of the 1992 Sub Pop release, it includes remastered versions of the band’s two EPs, and their sole album (Dum-Dum), as well as demos and live recordings from 1986 and 1988. Vaselines toured the U.S. in May 2009, playing six dates, starting in Los Angeles on May 10, then heading up the west coast to San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. Dates for Chicago, IL and Brooklyn, NY would end the tour on May 18. The band finished their May tour at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona.
On 19 July 2009, The Vaselines played the Uncut Arena at the Latitude Festival in Suffolk. On 9 October 2009, The Vaselines made a long awaited return to Edinburgh to support Mudhoney at HMV Picture House.
The Vaselines have been chosen personally by Belle & Sebastian to perform at their second Bowlie Weekender festival presented by All Tomorrow’s Parties in the UK in December 2010. The Vaselines second studio album, Sex With an X, was released in September 2010.
