The Vaselines

The Vaselines, a British alternative rock group from Glasgow whose songs Nirvana later covered, play a concert at Arts Club Loft, a concert and performance venue in Liverpool.

The Vaselines are a British alternative rock group formed in Glasgow, led by the singers and guitarists Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee. Their records were released by Sub Pop, and their debut album, Dum Dum, appeared in 1989, the year the band split up. They reformed in 2008.

Nirvana's Kurt Cobain often named the group in interviews, and Nirvana recorded covers of Molly's Lips and Son of a Gun, both later compiled on Incesticide. On MTV Unplugged they performed Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam, which brought the band to a wider international audience. Kelly and McKee went on writing, recording and touring after the split.

Since the reformation the group has released Sex With an X on Sub Pop in 2009 and V For Vaselines on their own label, Rosary Music, in 2014. The show takes place at Arts Club Loft, a concert and performance venue in Liverpool.
