History

edit

Formation and early years (1994–2001)

edit

In 1991, Craig Nicholls metPatrick Matthewswhile working at their localMcDonald'sin the suburb ofSouth Hurstville,New South Wales.[2]Bonded over a shared love of rock music, they began playing together at Matthews' home, with Nicholls on guitar and vocals and Matthews on bass. They were later joined by Matthews' school friendDavid Olliffeon drums.[3][4]

Band name

edit

Originally called "Rishikesh", a name suggested by Olliffe, which refers to the Indian city wherethe Beatlesvisited an ashram in 1968,[5]they played a couple of small gigs in pubs.[6]The local newspapers regularly misprinted the name as "Rishi Chasms", so Nicholls suggested a new name, "the Vines", as an homage to his father, who fronted a local band called the Vynes.[6][7]

Early demo recordings and live shows

edit

In October 1994, Patrick, Craig and David played their first gig as The Vines at an 18th birthday party at South Hurstville RSL Memorial Bowling Club. They covered songs byNirvana,You Am I,and others.[2]Back in the shed, meanwhile, the three had started developing their own sound on a four-track recorder,[5][8]with Nicholls soon emerging as the band's primary songwriter.[9]

By late 1998, The Vines only played a handful of gigs over the course of six years. One of them was at The Iron Duke pub in Sydney. Supporting local band Starky, it was the first time they were called back onstage for an encore.[2]

In April 1999, The Vines entered a studio for the first time to record their debut demos with high-school friend Glenn Santry as the engineer. In two quick sessions at A# Studios in Riverwood, they recorded six tracks, including early versions of "In the Jungle" and "Winning Days".[8][10][11]

Increased exposure and early releases

edit

In 2000, the "In the Jungle" demo was played onFBi Radio Sydney,catching the ear ofIvy League Records' Andy Cassell. Ivy League's management company Winterman and Goldstein soon signed The Vines and encouraged them to record further demos and play more shows.[2][12]

In early 2001, The Vines embarked on their first national tour of Australia as supporting act for You Am I andEskimo Joe.During their gigs, the band gave away 5-track demo CDs featuring early recordings of songs like "Highly Evolved"and" Mary Jane ".[2][8]In the same year, their Australia debut single "Hot Leather/Sunchild" was released through independent label Illustrious Artists, run byRussell Hopkinsonfrom You Am I.[7][13][14]

Meanwhile,Rex Recordsput out what was to be their UK debut single, "Factory",as a limited seven-inch single. The release becameNME's Single of the Week in November 2001.[15][16]

Highly Evolved(2001–2003)

edit
Main article:Highly Evolved

By the beginning of 2001, The Vines had compiled a collection of songs. Winterman and Goldstein approached the Australian artist development company Engineroom with a 19-song demo tape.[8][17]Impressed by their potential, Engineroom signed the band, funded the recording of more demos and negotiated deals with British and American labels, bypassing Australia.[18][19]

American producerRob Schnapfbecame impressed with The Vines after receiving a demo CD, leading him to express interest in collaborating with the band by sending an email filled with the phrase "The Vines!".[20][21]In July 2001, the band flew to Los Angeles, to begin recording their debut album,Highly Evolved,with Schnapf at Sunset Sound Studios.[19][8]Running into money issues, the originally planned eight-week recording session extended to six months.[6]Faced with pressure from the label, David Olliffe returned to Australia halfway through the recording, leading to the recruitment of session players such asJoey Waronkerand Pete Thomas.[22][18]

The band signed toHeavenly Recordsin the UK in December 2001 andEMIin Australia in April 2002. While mixing the recordHighly Evolved,The Vines signed with Capitol Records.[3]

In early 2002, The Vines embarked on a pre-release tour in the United Kingdom to promote their highly anticipated album,Highly Evolved.[23]As they took to the stage, the band introduced a new drummer,Hamish Rosser,who replaced David Olliffe. Additionally, The Vines welcomedRyan Griffiths,a longtime friend and schoolmate of Nicholls, as a second guitarist.

The first single off the album, "Highly Evolved",earned them more critical acclaim asNMEmade it a Single of the Week in March 2002.[24]The single charted in the UK at number 32 on the singles chart and on Australia'sARIAnettop 100 singles chart.

Highly Evolvedwas released on July 14, 2002. It reached number 11 in the U.S.BillboardHot 100 albums chart[25][26]and sold 1.5 million copies throughout the world with distribution throughCapitol Records.[27]By end of 2003, the album wentplatinumin Australia.[1]

In August, 2002, The band played high-profile slots on theLate Show with David Letterman[28][29]and theMTV Video Music Awards.[30]They won theARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist – Singlefor "Get Free" in2002,and were nominated for five other awards.[31]

The Vines gained significant recognition in 2002, appearing on the cover ofRolling Stonein September 2002 with the words "Rock is Back: Meet the Vines" boldly emblazoned underneath.[32]Referred to as the 'The' bands,the Strokes,the Hives,the White Stripes,and the Vines combined "old fashioned punk and adrenaline fuelled riffs" to be ushered in at the beginning of 2002 as the "saviors of rock".[33]

In 2002, The Vines appeared three times on the cover ofNMEin June, July, and October, hailed as the future of rock & roll.[34][35][36]Their US debut single "Get Free"was listed as number 38 on NME's" The 100 Greatest Singles of All Time. "[37]

In May 2003, the band went into a studio inWoodstock,New York,with Rob Schnapf again on production. While Craig Nicholls had talked of having a highly produced album, he told the Australian edition ofRolling Stonein March 2004 that they decided to stick to a less-is-more philosophy. "I wanted it to be – in my head – something grand, with big ideas and that vision sort of thing. But at the same time, that doesn't mean that something can't be special if it's just simple. Because I think that the songs are the main thing".[38]

The Vines,Camden Electric Ballroom,19 February 2004

On 14 November 2009, the Vines played at the Annandale Hotel, under the alias of the Crimes. They had a support slot with You Am I, playing their back catalogue and a new song from an album due in 2011.[41]

A music video for "Gimme Love" wrapped filming on 1 March 2011, with the completed video surfacing online through YouTube on 27 March. The music video pays homage to the 2010 filmScott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Over a year after its completion,Future Primitivereceived an official release date throughThe Daily Telegraphon 3 June 2011. Because the Vines did not have a label at the time of recording, the band members funded the album's recording themselves. Upon the album's completion, the band approached various record labels to see if any were interested in signing the band for its release, explaining the year-long delay between recording and release.

On 26 November 2011, rumours on the band'sFacebookpage suggested that the band had "pushed out" two of its members. At the 2011Homebakemusic festival, the Vines emerged on the main-stage as a three piece, consisting of Nicholls, Heald and drummer Murray Sheridan. The departure of both Griffiths and Rosser was confirmed byChannel VpresenterJane Gazzo,who wrote that the two had been "sacked" in aTwitterpost.[citation needed]

Craig's sister, Jess Nicholls, also confirmed their departure via the band's official forum.[42]"If any of you were at Homebake yesterday, I'm sure you can agree the set was amazing and sounded better than ever," she wrote. "The band has made a creative decision to revert back to a three piece, as they originally started. I know you will probably have a lot of questions but just wanted to say don't fear, this is in no way the end of the Vines!!" Nicholls, Heald and Sheridan performed again at Southbound music festival in Perth on 8 January 2012.

On 16 March 2012, Rosser announced that he had joined Australian rock bandWolfmother,as their new drummer, on theFaster Louderwebsite. He also claimed that the band had "broken up", although "Craig [Nicholls] will always write great music in the future and he may choose to carry on under the Vines' name."[43]

Musical style

edit

Unlike many other pop post-modernists, the Vines never sound weighed down by all the influences they include in their music—it's as if they're so excited by everything they hear, they can't help but recombine it in unique ways.[57]

— Heather Phares,AllMusic

Ex-bassist Matthews believed thatWinning Dayswas a step in a different direction for the band. "The themes are more introspective and less wild rock'n'roll".[27]Their music also was described byChart Attackas having "neo-psychedelic arrangements".[58]

Reception

edit

Upon the release of their debut album, the Vines were hailed as "the second coming ofNirvana"by the British press; their grungy sound was considered reminiscent of the Seattle scenec. 1991and Nicholls' erratic on-stage behaviour and raw vocals drew comparisons between him andKurt Cobain.[59][60][61]Highly Evolvedbecame a huge success and their accompanying live shows in the early years were praised as "electrifying" and "sensational".[62]

Critical reactions to 2004'sWinning Dayswere mixed.Pitchfork's Chris Ott described it as being "nothing more than boring and harmlessly vapid" and showing "only mild promise".[63]Conversely,Rolling Stone'David Frickesaid it was "a leap forward in style and frenzy".[64]

In June 2021,Double J's Al Newstead wrote anop-edin support of the band. "Their legacy isn't clean cut," he wrote, "but it's still remarkable to see what The Vines achieved, and chiefly what Nicholls survived."[65]

Legacy

edit

The Vines gained notoriety in the early 2000s as one of the leading bands of thegarage rock revivalscene.[66][67]Their debut albumHighly Evolvedwas named number two album of the year byNME[68][69]and listed inRolling Stone Australia's 200 Greatest Australian Albums of All Time.[70]

In 2002, The Vines became the first Australian musical act to be featured on the cover of USRolling Stonemagazine sinceMen at Workin 1983;[71][5]this helped revive international interest in the Australian music scene, which numerous artists have continued to benefit from in subsequent years.[72]

The Vines are considered an influential group in the development of 2000sindie rock,with a number of bands and musicians citing them as an inspiration or influence.Alex Turner,frontman ofArctic Monkeys,credits The Vines as a major influence in Arctic Monkeys' early years, stating: "One of the reasons we formed the band was because of the Vines".[66]Turner also named Craig Nicholls' live performances as a powerful early inspiration[73][74]and described The Vines as "collectively our favorite band at the time."[75]Kevin ParkerofTame Impalaand his bandmates remarked that they were "super massive fans" and idolised The Vines and Craig Nicholls when they were younger.[76]Wolf Alicecited The Vines as an early inspiration and named The Vines' second albumWinning Daysas one of the group's most vital influences.[77][78][79]While performing on stage in 2018,The Killersdirectly attributed The Vines with "blowing open" the doors for other indie bands like themselves to achieve mainstream success.[54][80]Other artists who have cited The Vines as an influence includeViolent Soho,[81][82]British India[83]andVANT.[84]
