With two EP’s and three albums on the musical shelf, The Vasco Era have punctuated these recordings with nothing short of a seemingly unending touring cycle. As lovers of the stage, The Vasco Era have performed tirelessly since their inception ten years ago and a little time off is well deserved. Vocalist and guitarist (along with a splattering of other instruments) Sid O’Neill is venturing to... Read More

The Vasco Era : The Vasco Era

I firmly believe that the Vasco Era are consummate professionals. I hear you scoffing and rolling your eyes, but hear me out (can you hear someone rolling their eyes?  Hmmm, for the sake of this review… yes) In a day and age where indie rock bands find a blueprint, get some fans and repeat until no one cares anymore, The Vasco Era have released their third Long Player and true to form it...

It's taken awhile, but on the heels of the release of The Vasco Era, Ted O'Neil has figured out how to keep his band effective: just have fun. "I think there are two different appreciations of the new songs: there's the lyrical side of it. There's a lot of wit in the lyrics and often they're quite funny. And the musical side: I think this album is a lot more fun than some of... Read More

On October 14, The Vasco Era will release a brand new, independent, self-titled album, bursting with nearly freeform metal lashings of noise that whip around the band's blues.  To celebrate the new album, The Vasco Era and Sydney's Papa vs Pretty are joining forces this October and November for a special double-headline tour. With Papa vs Pretty's debut album United In Isolation currently... Read More
Q&A: The Pretty Littles

Your name: Jack Parsons.   Your band’s name: The Pretty Littles.   What’s the deal with the band’s name: I don’t like your tone... just a shit-hot collection of words of no relevance to anything really, that were kind of said in I Am The Walrus describing a policeman.   Define your sound in five words or less: Bang, Slap, Shred, Yell.   Someone is walking past as you’re...

Quite possibly the greatest thing to come from Apollo Bay, besides those deep fried Mars Bars from the fish and chippery, The Vasco Era, are back. They've announced their return to the studio and stage with a cracking new single from their forthcoming third album. The song, Child Bearing Hips, is a blistering slab of the raw, distorted, rock ‘n’ roll fans have come to expect from their live... Read More

While the day after the gig may involve ‘the race that stops the nation’, the gig it seems, was the show that stopped a small pocket of Brunswick. (Evidently I was struggling to start this review and went with this. Good times as? Good times as.)   I’ve never been a huge wrap for The Vasco Era. I mean what is there really to like? They’re loud, drink a lot... Read More

Novocastrian Catherine Britt has good reason to believe in resurrection - of the musical kind. The singer-songwriter was lured to Nashville as a teenager after being discovered by Sir Elton John on an Australian tour. Britt recorded two albums for multi-national label BMG and toured with country stars diverse as Brooks And Dunn and Georgian Alan Jackson. She also kissed the... Read More
