Twee pop legends the Vaselines reunited a few years ago to play infrequent live shows, but these days they're basically a full-time band. On September 14, Sub Pop will release Sex With an X, the band's first new album in more than two decades. And the band will follow that LP up with by heading out on fairly extensive tours of both the UK and North America, playing shows along the way with fellow underground pop heroes like Superchunk and Belle and Sebastian. Dum Dum Girls will support on a string of dates.
