The Vaselines announce first English show in 20 years

at Kentish Town Forum, tickets on sale tomorrow

news: Monday 12th January 2009

Glaswegian indie punk band The Vaselines have announced a one off show at the London Forum on Friday 27th March their first English show in 20 years.

Tickets are priced at £16.50 and are on sale tomorrow (Tuesday 13th January) at 9am. To buy tickets then, click here.

The Vaselines formed in the mid 1980's and are best known for Nirvana covering their songs 'Son of a Gun' and 'Molly's Lips' on the album 'Incesticide' and 'Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam which cobain and company covered on 'MTV Unplugged in New York'.

The band was founded Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee, they have only one album to their credit and broke up the week that album was released in 1989. Whilst the carnal obsessed founding duo have collaborated intermittently in the intervening years (they toured jointly and played a few Vaselines' songs together in the wake of their respective solo albums in 2006), they have only recently, and rarely, started to play as The Vaselines.

Two over-subscribed shows in America in 2008 offered the possibility of more appearances in the future. Their concert at the Kentish Town Forum will be the first The Vaselines show in the capital for twenty years and their biggest headline show.
