Vue - Down for Whatever (2003)

Personally, one of my favourit bands from San Francisco Bay Area since Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. On 'Down For Whatever' you'll get the best of the old fashioned rock style, mixing good-time garage bash-punk and Bay-area psychedelica. For references, see The Stooges, Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Warlocks. 'Down For Whatever' was their first full-lenght on RCA records, after releasing some EP's on pioneer indie label Sub Pop (Nirvana, Jesus and Mary Chain, Sebadoh). A complete departure from Vue followed in 2004, but three of the five final members of Vue started Bellavista (which is posted on this blog also)
