Were you ever a Nirvana fan like myself? If you were this post will definitely hit some nostalgia tunes on this show. I remember being in 3rd grade staying up super late to watch Nirvana's Unplugged in New York performance on MTV. One of the jams they played was "Jesus Don't Want me for a Sunbeam." Right before they play it Kurt goes "we do it the Vaselines way." Years later and when my musical taste matured beyond the Backstreet Boys, I checked out the Vaselines. And Kurt was right, they are awesome. He often voiced his love for the Vaselines and was photographed in their band shirts all the time. Not to mention Nirvana covered "Molly's Lips" and "Son of A Gun" - they were definitely a fan of their jams.
The Vaselines are touring in support of their new album, "Sex with an X.". After Kurt died in 1994 they kind of disappeared, but reunited in 2009. The amount of money they made in royalties I'm sure was enough to let them a lead a comfortable lifestyle. I must admit I am curious to see these guys, I can't wait to go to the show!
Varsity Theater tickets are on sale now for the Vaselines show on Wednesday, October 27th.
The Dum Dum Girls open! Omg !
See you at the show!
