Frances, who will headline the Church Stage on Sunday night, released her first solo album, Sunny Moon, in April 2006 and has been performing as a solo artist since then, as well as playing with The Vaselines. She will also be leading a yoga class at Indietracks, as part of the workshops.
Frances was originally in The Pretty Flowers with Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub before forming The Vaselines with Eugene Kelly in 1986. The band released their first album, Dum-Dum, in 1989 but broke up shortly after its release. Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain once described Kelly and McKee as his "most favorite songwriters in the whole world, and with their songs "Son of a Gun" and "Molly's Lips" covered on Nirvana's album Incesticide and "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam" covered on MTV Unplugged, the band gained a new audience. In 1992, Sub Pop released The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History, a compilation that contained The Vaselines' entire body of work.
The Vaselines then reformed in 2008 for a charity concert, and in 2009 they played their first London date in 20 years at the London Forum. The band released their second studio album, Sex With an X, in September 2010 and also played the second Bowlie Weekender festival shortly afterwards.
