Seminal Scottish indie duo The Vaselines are set to release a new single ahead of a British tour.

2010 could well mark the return of Scottish indie music. Belle & Sebastian are touring again, Teenage Fanclub have released a new album and seminal duo The Vaselines have recorded their first new material in two decades.

A bumper crop! But check out the line up for December's Bowlie 2 - the vast bulk of the groups thus far confirmed are from Caledonia. The Vaselines are due to perform, reinforcing images of a tartan Mafia controlling indie pop.

The duo returned last year, playing a series of re-union shows to promote their rejuvenated back catalogue. The Glasgow pair decided to write new material, resulting in only their second studio album in more than twenty years.

'Sex With An X' is due to be released later this year, featuring Francis and Eugene on typically filthy form. Ahead of the album the title track is due to get a full scale single release on September 6th.

Available as a seven inch, and as a download, the track is a trademark slice of indie pop as only The Vaselines can craft. Alongside the new album the duo have confirmed a host of British tour dates.

Opening in Edinburgh on September 15th, the tour will move across the country. One of the most complete tours ever undertaken by The Vaselines, the tour finishes in Glasgow's Oran Mor on September 24th.

Tickets for the shows go on sale soon, but if you can't wait then The Vaselines have filmed a secret insight into their lives. Check it out HERE.
