  Vines Show Growth | Straight.com Vancouver
The Vines have suffered through more than one Nirvana comparison, so it's somehow appropriate that drummer Hamish Rosser is reading a Kurt Cobain biography on the band's current tour.
Where that's probably resonating with Rosser is that he's also in a band with a singer, Craig Nicholls, who has been hailed as something of a prodigy but who isn't always comfortable with the adulation.
Rosser explains that the much-publicized incident was mostly a result of sleep deprivation; when the band arrived for a 10 a.m.

 Hamish Rosser - Drum Solo Artist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Hamish started playing drums at the tender age of eleven after switching from guitar and received expert tuition from Oz-rock drum beast Pete Heckenberg who provided training in both the rudiments and favourite rock songs of the day.
Hamish’s first gig was with high school punk band “The Warthogs” and consisted of three classics; The Clash’s “Should I stay or Should I Go”, The Ramones’ “Blitzkreig Bop” and The Sex Pistols’ “God Save the Queen”.
A string of unsuccessful original bands led Hamish to the world of paid gigs in the form of “Sixties Mania”, an Aussie concept show covering the great music of the 60s.

"Another saying in Australia is called the 'tall poppy syndrome' -- cutting down the people that do well," adds Hamish Rosser, the impish, quick-witted drummer for the Vines.
Rosser laughs, but he could be forgiven if the phrase hits a little too close to home.
It's a deliberately mismatched outfit worn for fashion rather than a haphazard ensemble thrown together because nothing else was clean.

Setting up and playing together as a band, they laid down the basic tracks quickly before settling in and taking their time to lay down guitars, keyboards and the centerpiece of all Vines songs, Craig's vocals.

 Vision Valley - The Vines - Song Listings
After 2004's lackluster Winning Days and Craig Nicholls' subsequent breakdown, it certainly seemed like the Vines were never to be heard from again.
Surprisingly, though, the band persevered: Nicholls was diagnosed with and treated for the neurobiological disorder Asperger's Syndrome, and guitarist Ryan Griffiths and drummer Hamish Rosser stuck by him (bassist Patrick Matthews left to play with Youth Group).
The trio recorded Vision Valley in a few small studios around Sydney, and the album has the back-to-basics sound of a band getting back on its feet again.
