The Vasco Era

Fiery three-piece blues-rock music group the Vasco Period are recognized for their amazing concert events. Frontman Sid O’Neil specifically is reputable for his distinctively violent howl and skill having a slip guitar, aswell as his forays into percussion. His old sibling Ted O’Neil takes on bass and college friend Michael “Fitzy” Fitzgerald takes on drums. All three are originally from the city of Apollo Bay, as well as the distributed experiences of developing up in small-town Australia inform their tunes’ upset swagger and stomp. Near Melbourne, Victoria, Apollo Bay is usually a quiet seaside tourist city where structures aren’t permitted to end up being over three flooring high. The three people from the Vasco Period shifted to big-city Melbourne to discover gigs, producing their name while helping famous brands Gomez, the Dark Tips, the Violent Femmes, and fellow Australians Wolfmother. After documenting two EPs — 2004’s ALLOW IT Burn off and 2005’s Mls, both featuring the favorite tune “Kingswood” — the Vasco Period took a vacation to SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA to record their debut record, Oh We Perform Like to End up being Next to the Seaside. Initial single “WHENEVER WE All Shed It” (like every one of the album’s song game titles, it contains the term “when”) premiered in 2006, accompanied by the record in 2007. These were helped by Jeff Saltzman, manufacturer from the Killers’ record Popular Fuss and previous supervisor of Green Time. Oh We Perform Like to End up being Next to the Seaside was well received, often played on nationwide youth place Triple J and nominated for the station’s J Prize for Australian Record of the entire year. The band’s sophomore work, Lucille, followed this year 2010. The trio quickly came back in 2011 using a self-titled release, offering the one “Kid Bearing Sides.”
