Are they still a band? I liked their first album "Highly Evolved"
I liked the more mellow stuff Mary Jane and Autumn Shade.
Saw their first tour of America at the Mercury Lounge, NYC and it was all executives and very few fans. The execs were talking in the backround during the show and Craig, lead singer, was pissed. He stormed off after the set. Good to see they are still together.

Settled down at last and very happy.

On a far away island .....
Craig the singer had a meltdown at a local pub gig in Sydney and the band broke up for a while. He was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome and told by his doc to quit the junk food and marijuana. He seem to be OK now. I am not sure if they are still together as a band. I saw them before I left Australia to travel but I was hoping to see them again.

Their last album was released last year IIRC. The Vines are a good grunge-esque rock band, I only have Vision Valley but it's very listenable and accessible which is a triumph for the sort of music it is IMO :grinthumb

I never got into The Vines that much... I've always really liked "Ride" but I haven't really been that tempted to check anything else out, well... besides what's been posted which I liked, but I'm a bit indifferent to them:)
