The Vines tour

Fri 10th Jun, 2011 in Local News

The Vines arrived in the world as rock and roll saviours nine years ago and with the release of their fifth studio album Future Primitive the band’s frontman Craig Nicholls told FasterLouder that he’s mellowed a little but still gives everything to his music – “My life is what I do. It is the band; there’s nothing else.”

You can stream Future Primitive in full on FL and catch The Vines at Splendour in July, but to really hear the new record you’ll need to be up front when they tour in August and September.

Papa vs Pretty will join the Vines on tour to play tracks from their debut album United In Isolation with current NME hype kids Bleeding Knees Club providing a soundtrack of summery garage rock to kick off the gigs.
