“’Child Bearing Hips’ is about wanting to be involved with things that you know are wrong, even if you don’t like what they stand for. Especially when people assume that you are unintelligent because you are not part of it. It usually stems from being at a party in the wrong clothes and people making assumptions about your worth based on this. It frustrates me that I need these people to accept me even though I am directly opposed to this idea. The South Purambite Hall is a hall is in south western Victoria where my parents had their 21st birthday parties and got married, so I guess there is a bit of nostalgia involved, and some of that golden age syndrome wherein we long for the past even though it probably wasn’t much better. The child bearing hips part relates to the fact that I have child-bearing hips.” Sid

Melbourne 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. 

Their debut studio album Oh We Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside was released in 2007, paving the way to write and record their critically acclaimed second album, Lucille. Released through Universal, Lucille came to life after 18 months of writing when the band teamed up with producer Scott Horscroft (Silverchair, The Temper Trap, The Presets and Little Red).
