In early 2001, The Vines embarked on their first national tour of Australia as supporting act for You Am I and Eskimo Joe . During their gigs, the band gave away 5-track demo CDs featuring early recordings of songs like ” Highly Evolved ” and “Mary Jane”. In the same year, their Australia debut single “Hot Leather/Sunchild” was released through independent label Illustrious Artists, run by Russell Hopkinson from You Am I.
