The Vaselines were a Rock band from Glasgow , Scotland . Formed in 1986, the band was originally made up of only Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee , but later added James Seenan and Charlie Kelly.

The band released two singles, " Son Of A Gun ", which featured a reworking of Divine 's "You Think You're a Man" on its B-side , and " Dying For It ", prior to releasing an album. In 1989 they released their only album, '' Dum Dum '', on 53rd and 3rd Records. The band broke up in 1990, but reunited later that year to open for Nirvana when they played in Edinburgh .
