The World

Nirvana covered two of their songs and Kurt Cobain once called them his favorite songwriters in the whole world. After a 20 year hiatus, the Scottish indie pop couple, The Vaselines, reunites to make music. Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee talk with Kurt and play songs from their new album Sex with an X.

The Vaselines play “Sex with an X,” from their new album of the same name, live in our studio.
