The Vaselines announce second album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 11 June 2010
The Vaselines have announced that they will release their second album, ‘Sex With An X’, in September, more than 20 years after their debut, ‘Dum Dum’, which came out in 1989.
The band was formed in Glasgow in 1987 by Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee, released two singles and an album, and then split up in 1989 shortly (as in a few days) after the release of the long player. In the intervening years they gained a cult popularity, aided by Nirvana recording no less than three covers of their songs. Kelly and McKee toured together as solo artists in 2006, occasionally playing a few old songs here and there, but didn’t resurrect The Vaselines until 2008, when they appeared unannounced a charity show in Glasgow. A world tour followed later and suddenly the ball started rolling.
‘Sex With An X’ is due for release on Sub Pop on 14 Sep and will be accompanied by a UK tour. You can download a free track from the album from the band’s website: www.thevaselines.co.uk
