The Vaselines: Live at Primavera Sound Festival 5/28/2009 (2009)



/Jangle pop, Alternative pop/rock, Indie pop, Twee pop/


Comment: The Vaselines is a Scottish duo consisting of Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee firstly being surfaced in 80s (1986-1990) as part of then twee/jangle pop scene. Quite paradoxically, they got some fame as one of the favorite bands by all our beloved Kurt Cobain (by the way, Nirvana covered three of their songs). This gig was recorded at the famous Primavera festival including their best songs represented over here (Molly`s Lips; Jesus Does Not Want Me A Sunbeam; Slushy; Sex Sux, You Think You`re A Man; Oliver Twisted etc). Honestly, I have long awaited for the revival of those seemingly simple yet catchy infiltrated guitar strums and joyous even groovy drum patterns of 80`s guitar bands. This is a honest example of indie`n`roll.
