2006 June 17th. Luminaire London. A fantastic band underrated at the time but back to play a gig in London. The Vaselines were an indie rock band from Edinburgh, Scotland. Formed in 1986 the band broke up in 1990. The band was originally made up of only Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee, but later added James Seenan and Charly Kelly. The band released two singles, "Son of a Gun" and "Dying for It", prior to releasing an album. In 1989 they released their only album, Dum Dum, However, they reunited later that year to open for Nirvana when they played in Edinburgh. Nirvana covered "Son of a Gun" & "Molly's Lips" covered on Incesticide and "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" covered as "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam" on MTV Unplugged.
