After thirteen years out of the studio, Melbourne/Surf Coast band The Vasco Era (Sid ONeil, Ted ONeil and Michael Fitzgerald) are back. Following standout albums Oh We Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside (2007), Lucille (2009), and The Vasco Era (2011), the band return with a new album produced by longtime collaborator Greg Rietwyk (Lunchroom Records), capturing their raw energy with renewed focus. Named after its first single,I Dont Mind distills the albums spirit: raw, loud, tender sometimes all at once. The album itself is split in two Side A: Yelling. Side B: Crying. A loud side and a soft side. A mirror of the bands extremes, but also their control over them.
The Vasco Era have graced some of Australia's most iconic stages with headline shows at The Forum and Corner Hotel, while earning international acclaim at festivals like Chinas Midi Modern Music Festival, The Great Escape (UK), and CMJ Music Marathon (USA). In Australia they have won crowds over at some of our biggest festivals including Big Day Out, Blues Fest, Laneway, Southbound and Queenscliff to name a few. Alongside this they have also supported heavy-weight acts such as You Am I, Violent Femmes, Black Keys and Placebo
