The Vines @ Ocean 2

added 02 July 2003 at 05.29

Stepping up to the plate for scuzzy, breakneck pop-punk bands everywhere, The Vines are fast following the likes of The Hives into the public’s hearts and minds. The raucous swagger of ‘Highly Evolved’, the distorted determninism of ‘Get Free’ and the sheer energy of their live sets have already converted those lucky enough to witness them. If you weren’t among Xfm’s invited audience in Hackney on July 1 (or even if you were ) you can now experience The Vines live at your leisure, right here.

Hit the links above to watch the whole thing or pick out your favourite tracks using the interactive setlist below:

‘Highly Evolved’ The gloriously short breakthrough single which caused the music-industryto drop its V&T in slack-jawed wonder [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

‘Autumn Shade’ The band at their most psychadelic, artfully counterbalancing some of the punkier numbers. [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

‘Outtathaway’ 100mph blast of downright cocky punk pop and upcoming single [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

‘Mary Jane’ Is it about a girl? Is it about drugs? No, it’s about both. [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

‘Ain’t No Room’ Considered by those in the know to be their finest hour (well, 3 and a half minutes) b-side to their debut single. [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

‘Miss Jackson’ Cheeky cover of the Outkast hit and now-infamous live staple. [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

‘Get Free’ Current single and screamingly triumnphant statement of intent [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

‘Country Yard’ Another slower number, one of six songs on the demo that secured the band’s record deal. [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

‘Factory’ Ska influenced debut single. [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

‘1969’ Not the Stooges song of the same name, but just as good. At just over five minutes it’s their longest song by far. [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

‘Sunchild’ Country-tinged and sun-kissed, this is another of The Vines’ more serene moments. [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

‘In The Jungle’ Possible tribute to Tight Fit. Stop/start, fast/slow primeval punk from the Ramones‘ school of hard rock. [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

‘Autumn Shade 2’ First encore and brand-new sequel to ‘Autumn Shade’. Craig Nichols plays it solo with jus tan acoustic guitar as God intended. [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

‘Fuck The World’ The only track aired tonight to not appear on the forthcoming debut ‘Highly Evolved’. A three-minute, blistering swansong. [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
