Melbourne rock band The Vasco Era features vocalist and guitarist Sid O'Neil, his brother and bassist Ted O'Neil, and drummer Michael Fitzgerald. Hailing from the coastal town of Apollo Bay, the boys recall playing to packed out living rooms before hitting actual stages around Australia. Two albums, several national tours and gigs at major festivals followed, with highlight performances including support slots for The Black Keys, The Hold Steady and The Violent Femmes. Only one of the three members lives in a house - the others stay with their friends, girlfriends, parents, friends' parents and girlfriends' parents. One day they'd all like to live in Spain. The Vasco Era's third album, independently released in October this year, captures the band in their prime. 'Child Bearing Hips' is the first single from The Vasco Era's self-titled album.

2007 release from the Alterna-Rock 'n' Blues outfit from Melbourne, Australia. 10 tracks including 'When It First Showed Up', 'When You Went' and 'When We All Lost It'. Yes, all 10 songs start with the word 'when'!. Universal.

The Vasco Era release their second album produced by Scott Horcroft (Presets, Silverchair, Sleepy Jackson, etc). Recorded and mixed at Horcroft's BigSuperJesus Studios in Sydney.
