The Vaselines @ ABC, 12 Dec

Event preview by Gillian Watson.
Published 24 November 2008

Perhaps the most indie and legendary of Glasgow's indie legends, Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee caused a justifiable stir this summer when they reformed The Vaselines to perform at Sub Pop's 20th birthday celebrations after almost two decades in the wilderness. Despite boasting a catalogue comfortably capable of fitting onto one disc, The Vaselines have had an influence extending far beyond the Scottish underground, captivating, among others, a certain Mr Kurt Cobain (nah, I haven't heard of him either). As once in a lifetime opportunities go, it doesn't get much better than seeing the revitalised Vaselines in their home town. [Gillian Watson]
