During the Vaccines’ debut UK tour between September and November 2010, interest in the band led to a debut London performance at a friend’s pub, The Flowerpot, Kentish Town. The show sold out and audience members included Alex Kapranos and Marcus Mumford —200 people were turned away. The performance was awarded a “4/5” rating by The Guardian and was described by Clash magazine as “fantastic, exhilarating and exciting”. During this time, the band performed live on Later with Jools Holland —the occasion marked the first time that a band has ever appeared on the programme prior to releasing a single.
