Artists: The Vines

Nov 16, 2008
The Vines have canceled all of their upcoming shows - including festival appearances (Homebake, Pyramid Rock and Big Day Out) and their scheduled November tour of Japan. Craig Nicholls' mental condition (he was diagnosed with aspergers syndrome in 2004) has dramatically worsened over the past month to the point where he needs to take some time away from the spotlight to seek medical help. #

More artists have been added to next year's Big Day Out including local acts The Drones, Sparkadia, The Vines, Children Collide, Mercy Arms and (surprise surprise) Little red, as well as some international peeps - Serj Tankian, Dropkick Murphys, Black Kids, Hot Chip, Holy Ghost, Lupe Fiasco and Z-Trip. These new faces (and old faces - Black Kids were soooo 2007) join the existing line-up which features exciting up-and-coming superstars such as Neil Young, The Living End and Sneaky Sound System. #

NME apologies for inflicting The Vines on the world. Will they do the same for The Klaxons in 2011? #

Gig Review: The Vines @ Manning Bar, Sydney Uni - 16/07/2008

The band introduce their new album, Melodia, with a fairly unimpressive performance.
Jul 15, 2008
Mr Twelve Major Chords (aka Angus the Destroyer) has given The Vines' new album, Melodia, a fairly positive write-up. In his review he makes a lot of good points about the band's ability to still churn out great two-minute pop rock numbers and the endless 'comeback' talk that seems to haunt them. We are still trying to find the words to sum up our own feelings towards the record. #

Ivy League's birthday bash now one night only

A while back we reported about a special double night celebration for Ivy League Records' 10th anniversary. The original plan of having the bands split over two big nights has now been scrapped and replaced with a new plan to pack as many awesome local bands into one night as physically possible.

The Vines cover The Veronicas as part of a tribute to female artists

Apparently it makes perfect sense to have a song by The Veronicas on a compilation alongside tunes by Bjork, PJ Harvey, Sinead O'Connor and Portishead.

The Vines
Melodia

In a recent internet discussion with a friend I attempted to make a link between the career of The Vines and that of Weezer. He cheekily pointed out that Weezer "had two good albums" and crushed the somewhat valid comparison that I was attempting to make.
