On Friday The Kooks played in North Carolina for the first time since 2015. Along with The Vaccines and Daisy the Great, the bands sold out the Orange Peel in Asheville. With a bill as stacked as this one, I’m not at all surprised that this show sold out.

Live, The Vaccines are more than just firm indie favourites; they are a class act through and through and Wednesday’s show at Rock City to promote their sixth album, Pick-Up Full Of Pink Carnations, proved just that.
