The perfect pop of Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee was on display last night when the Vaselines played the L.A. date of their U.S. tour, promoting the release of the Enter the Vaselines compilation on Sub Pop. Frances joked with and thoroughly charmed the crowd with playfully perverse asides, like a child hearing a dirty word for the first time. Eugene's grumpiness only made their performance all the more endearing. Two new songs were played, both were incredible. The live band, including Stevie Jackson and Bobby Kildea of Belle and Sebastian were incredibly tight and innovatively translated the songs for live performance. All your favorites were played, including Dum Dum, Dying For It, Son of A Gun and You Think You're a Man.
Here's a sample from a recent performance:
Best show I've seen in ages. Do not miss the Vaselines if they come to your town. They are apparently releasing a new album later this year, so they will hopefully return to a town near you!
