　　Michael Fitzgerald (打鼓) 和兄弟Sid O’Neil （歌唱，吉他，打击乐器）和Ted O’Neil （低音吉他，和声）十几岁就在比较安静的海边城市Apollo Bay 成立了The Vasco Era。他们之间音乐方面的相连带动了在当地很热闹的演出。 很短的时间，演出都满座，观众可以感到他们现场表演的刺激。

　　从他们青年的出头，这个乐队变得更大更好，终于在一些广大的户外节目表演，包括The Falls Festival, Southbound, East and West Coast Blues and Roots Festivals, Apollo Bay Music Festival, The Great Escape。 除了这些户外表演以外，The Vasco Era 也在澳大利亚各地做过演出，还在国外，例如洛杉矶，纽约，和伦敦做过表演，受到和大的欢迎。The Vasco Era 也为了很多出名的阅读俄当过暖场乐队，包括Placebo, Jet, Alberta Cross, The Black Keys, The Grates, Gomez, The Violent Femmes, You Am I, Wolfmother, Gyroscope, Powderfinger。今年又会跟Alberta Cross，Jet 和Powderfinger演出。

　　The Vasco Era 第一个专辑 ，“Oh we do like to be beside the seaside” （”我们喜欢在海边”）在2007年5月5日出的。这个专辑是为著名的制片者，Jeff Saltzman （也是The Killers “Hot Fuss”专辑的制片者）在旧金山录的，而乐队根The John Butler Trio 和Silverchair 被提名获得“J 奖”。 这个专辑备受好评，很多人认识到歌曲用的积极，“不适合衰弱”的布鲁斯摇滚音乐来讲出一个亲密的故事。 新专辑Lucille 已经受到媒体的最高评价。

　　Michael Fitzgerald (drums) and brothers Sid O'Neil (vocals, guitar, percussion) and Ted O'Neil (bass, backing vocals) were still in their teens when they formed The Vasco Era in the (otherwise) quiet coastal town of Apollo Bay. The trio felt an instant musical and live chemistry spurring exciting local performances that were soon packed houses with the crowd feeling the dynamic intensity of their live shows.

　　From these youthful beginnings, the band have gone on to much bigger things culminating in large outdoor performances at The Falls Festival, Southbound, East and West Coast Blues & Roots Festivals, Apollo Bay Music Festival and The Great Escape. In addition to the ever growing list of festivals, The Vasco Era have toured extensively throughout Australia headlining and won fans further afield with shows in LA, New York and London. the band has supported UK’s Placebo, Jet, Alberta Cross, The Black Keys, The Grates, Gomez, The Violent Femmes, You Am I, Wolfmother, Gyroscope and further this year Alberta Cross, Jet and Powderfinger.

　　May 5th 2007 saw the release of their debut album, "Oh We Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside". The album was recorded in San Francisco with renowned producer Jeff Saltzman (The Killers "Hot Fuss") and the band were also nominated for a J Award alongside The John Butler Trio and Silverchair. The album gained critical acclaim and became an album known for it's form and flow of intimate story-telling in a bluesy, dynamic 'not for the meek' rock delivery. New album Lucille has won top star acclaim already by press...
