The Vines

In the vibrant setting of Channel V Studios in Sydney, The Vines delivered a raucous live performance on September 27, 2002, just after the release of their debut album 'Highly Evolved.' This album had hit the shelves just months earlier, in July 2002, which set the stage for their explosive entry into the Australian music scene. At this point, frontman Craig Nicholls was riding high on the success of the album, which featured tracks like 'Outtathaway' and 'Get Free,' both of which found a home in their live setlist. It’s fascinating to note that The Vines were often labeled part of the garage rock revival, and their raw energy during this performance exemplifies that spirit. This show is a perfect snapshot of their early career, capturing a band at a thrilling point of emergence, full of raw talent and youthful angst.
