BBC 6Music is the soundtrack to our kitchen these days and I heard the track <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"the Vaselines\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thevaselines.co.uk\/\">Sex with an X<\/a> on there a while ago, instantly thinking I like this!\u009d Found out who it was, saw that they were playing the Brudenell so got a couple of tickets. Mark joined me and how glad we were that we made the effort2 fabulous Scotish bands &#8211; one old but sound brand new and one new  who sound comfortingly old.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image849\" alt=\"haight ashbury\" src=\"https:\/\/sleigh-munoz.co.uk\/quims\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/haightashbury.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">First up was the wonderful <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"H A\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/haightashburyuk\">Haight-Ashbury<\/a>  a Scots 3 piece named after the epicentre of the 60s hippie movement. The two girls looked the part with flowing hippie dresses &#8211; one in black and one in white. They were stunningly good, with a guitarist who could play anything and 2 piece harmonies to die for. All their songs had that instant recognition that classic songs have. Familiar, in a good way. Our only complaint was that there were no CDs of theirs on sale  a schoolboy error.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image850\" alt=\"vaselines\" src=\"https:\/\/sleigh-munoz.co.uk\/quims\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/vas1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The Vaselines (who are Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee) were a hoot from start to finish, with lots of good-natured (often sexual) banter between songs. For an ex couple who split the band when they split as a couple many moons ago, there was no detectable edge (and I guess if you call your LP &#8216;Sex with an X&#8217; you&#8217;re over all that). If you buy a CD at the end\u009d says the elfin-like Frances youll get a blow job.from Eugene\u009d Theyre supposed to give me one!\u009d Nah, you dont wanna go there!\u009d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image851\" alt=\"vaselines\" src=\"https:\/\/sleigh-munoz.co.uk\/quims\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/vas2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Id picked up a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> hand CD of their early stuff whilst in Brid recently so was familiar with their back catalogue. The old <a title=\"the Vaselines\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JrgbfnJGVkM\">and the new<\/a> blended seamlessly. Theyd had members of Belle and Sebastian playing with them until recently They got a better offer to go back\u009d but the new guys sounded great  also from Scottish rock royalty I believe.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">It turns out that they were one of Curt Cobains favourite bands  Nirvana covered <a title=\"nirvana\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YdyqXSa5Bzc\">Jesus doesnt want me as a sunbeam<\/a> which was greeted with a bit of pogoing. Their cover of Divines &#8216;You think you&#8217;re a man but you&#8217;re only a boy&#8217; brought the evening to a close. I would go a long way see both of these bands again.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Bob the Chiropodist.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lazysocialbuttons\" data-float=\"left\" data-buttons=\"google,twitter,facebook\" data-twshareurl=\"https:\/\/sleigh-munoz.co.uk\/quims\/2010\/09\/19\/the-vaselines-haight-ashbury-the-brudenell-170910\/\" data-twtext=\"\" data-shareurl=\"https:\/\/sleigh-munoz.co.uk\/quims\/2010\/09\/19\/the-vaselines-haight-ashbury-the-brudenell-170910\/\" data-fbhideflyout=\"false\" data-backgroundtype=\"light\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Im a new comer to The Vaselines.
