The Vines

In October 2002, The Vines performed live at Rock City in Nottingham for BBC Radio 1, a pivotal moment showcasing their vibrant sound during their early career. At this time, the band had just released their debut album, "Highly Evolved," which hit the shelves in late 2001. This album set the stage for their rise, featuring hits like "Get Free" and "Outtathaway!" that captured the raw energy of garage rock revival. The band was known for their chaotic live performances, and this particular show highlighted their exhilarating, unpolished vibe—a hallmark of their persona. Fun fact: during this live set, they covered OutKast’s hit "Ms. Jackson," showing their eclectic influences. The energy was palpable that night, as fans enjoyed an electrifying mix of songs from their debut, with frontman Craig Nicholls delivering his signature intensity. It was a defining moment solidifying The Vines' place in early 2000s rock.
