- Release Notes -

Formed in Glasgow in 1987, The Vaselines released two singles and one album
(Dum Dum on the 53rd and 3rd label) and then split up in 1989 (in the same
week their album was released). They might have faded into obscurity but for
the intervention of a certain band from Seattle. Nirvana covered three
Vaselines songs, helping to fuel a growing after-the-fact appreciation of
their seedy, two-and-a-half chord, garage pop manifesto. Founding members
Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee remained musically active between then and
now: the former with Captain America aka Eugenius and finally as a solo
artist; McKee with Painkillers and Suckle. Eugene and Frances also
collaborated intermittently in the intervening years and, in 2008, toured
America (including a stand-out appearance at Sub Pops 20th anniversary
festival, SP20), Brazil and Japan and played some UK festivals. The Vaselines
re-connected with wildly appreciative audiences who had blinked and missed
them the first time round. Buoyed by the success of their live return, the
two punk rock chums decided to go back into the studio.

The new Vaselines album, Sex with an X, was recorded outside Manchester at
the Analogue Catalogue studio in Mossley with Julie McLarnon engineering and
produced by Jamie Watson (who also produced that first album Dum Dum). The
Vaselines ca. 2010 is Eugene and Frances with guest musicians Stevie Jackson
and Bob Kildea from Belle & Sebastian on guitar and bass, and Michael
McGaughrin from the 1990s on drums. It may have taken The Vaselines 20 years
to get round to making this baby, but it was worth the waitbringing their
solo careers to a climax. The irony has not been lost. Who says indie music
cant be fun? No hand-wringing on these tracksjust good clean smut with a
twist of bitter. The Vaselines will tour the US in October, 2010.
