The Vasco Era burst onto the Australian music scene some five years ago in an arrival that was difficult to ignore. The noisy Apollo Bay natives presented a range of musical conundrums: a surf coast band fuelled by a furious racket; a three-piece that made as much noise as a whole festival; a band that seemingly ran alongside the other entrants in the new rock race and yet outran them all. The country sat up and took notice, and their 2006 debut, Oh We Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside, (produced by Jeff Saltzman) was nominated for a J Award. The band worked closely with producer Scott Horscroft (Silverchair, The Presets, Sleepy Jackson) on their second album, Lucille, which was released in March 2010. The intensive recording session resulted in a record that is rich in atmosphere and depth of feeling.
