The Vasco Era take Lucille on the road

It’s been a long time between drinks but the time has finally come for The Vasco Era to release their long awaited second album Lucille.  Being known for their blistering, brutally energetic live sets it seems fitting that The Vasco Era should mark such a momentous occasion with a National tour showing Australian music fans exactly just what they have been up to since they released their cracking debut album Oh We Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside in 2007.

The band - vocalist and guitarist Sid O'Neil, brother and bassist Ted, and drummer Michael Fitzgerald - had a year or so to write the songs that would eventually form their second album's innards, though it was no working holiday. After an extended period of determined demoing, the band prepared to start recording the album.

Working closely with producer Scott Horscroft (Silverchair, The Presets, Sleepy Jackson), the band entered an intensive three-week recording session that would prove to test their collective mettle and expand their musical horizons.

The result is a record that is rich in atmosphere and depth of feeling that takes the listener on thrilling aural journey from beginning to end. There are moments of rolling thunder, memories of standing on the corner with a suitcase in your hand; of Chelsea girls and sweet slow sliders and even the occasional moonlight sonata. But throughout it all beats the heart of a band not content to take the easy route.

The Vasco Era’s new album Lucille is out now through Universal
