There’s something missing from the Oz music scene. Balls. No offence to Dallas Crane, or Jet or Wolfmother or whoever, but you’re all pansies. I’m not talking about the lads themselves, just ab...

Michael Fitzgerald (drums) and brothers Sid O'Neil (vocals, guitar, percussion) and Ted O'Neil (bass, backing vocals) were still in their teens when they formed The Vasco Era in the (otherwise) quiet coastal town of Apollo Bay. The trio felt an instant musical and live chemistry spurring exciting local performances that were soon packed houses with the crowd feeling the dynamic intensity of their live shows. From these humble beginnings, the band have gone on to much bigger things, most recently culminating in large outdoor performances at The Falls Festival, Southbound, East and West Coast Blues & Roots Festivals, Apollo Bay Music Festival and The Great Escape. In addition to the ever growing list of festivals, the band has an impressive resume of supports, having toured with The Black Keys, Gomez, The Violent Femmes, You Am I, and even opening for Wolfmother in London last year. The Vasco Era have toured extensively throughout Australia on their own as well and last year won fans further afield with shows in LA, New York and London.

May 5th will see the release of their debut album, "Oh We Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside". The album was recorded last year in San Francisco with renowned producer Jeff Saltzman (The Killers "Hot Fuss") and the first two singles, "When It First Showed Up" and "When We All Lost It" are currently being featured on radio.
