The Vaselines
7:30 p.m. • Cedar Cultural Center • $18-$20
The Vaselines were just a blip on the underground-music radar in the late '80s, but one of their biggest fans was Kurt Cobain, who covered "Molly's Lips" with Nirvana and talked them up enough to earn the Scottish band a new following. Co-leaders Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee reunited in 2008 around Sub Pop Records' 20th-anniversary festival, and it went so well they're still at it. They just put out only their third album, "V Is for Vaselines," offering a fun blast of Ramones-inspired pop-punk. Chris Riemenschneider
