The Kurt Vile Thread

eeriepadave

Saw him last night in philly in a new venue, The Met. Pretty solid show. Unfortunately I was pretty tired so i wasn't too much into it and my view wasn't the best. I was kinda near a pillar and some big tall dude was sitting in front of me. Still could see ok.

Our show in MPLS was great!

He's from the next town over and he's awesome.  I'm sorry to say I haven't seen him live but I buy his music and listen often and totally see the appeal.

Thanks for Reviving The Kurt vile thread. I listened to him a year or two ago the album with pretty Pimpin on it. But thanks for bringing this up his new album is pretty darn nice.

I listen to him quite regularly now. He’s amazing. My favorite album is Lotta Sea Lice with Courtney Barnett. He’s coming through MI in a few soon. I should go, His lyrics crack me up sometimes, 

When I go out, I take pills to take the edge off
For to just take a chillax, man, forget about it
Just a certified badass out for a night on the town
Ain't it oh-exciting, the way one can fake their way through life
Hey, but that's neither here nor there
In a way how could one ever prove you're just putting them all on

[Chorus]
That's life, tho
Almost hate to say
That's life, tho
In every brutal way


Lol, or maybe it’s the lackadaisical way he delivers the lyrics. Regardless, he’s very unique.

Thanks I didn't know this album existed. Yeah it's good he's definitely a little kooky with his delivery but I like it it's fun and enjoyable.

KV is great.  Newer stuff is really good, but everything (even the early lo-fi stuff) is good.  Hard for me to even recommend where to start!

New single today!  "Like Exploding Stones" 

Man.  Welcome back my friend.  New album in April!

Kurt's the man! Love how he shoots his vids in Philly. This one is mostly in the Wiss section of Fairmount Park. I mountain bike on those trails all the time. I believe Kurt actually lives in the Mount Airy section of Philly. I have a friend whose wife bartends at a local pub that Kurt hangs at sometimes. She says they never talk about music, only their kids.

Temporary interruption from your OP:

I am giving away a free sealed vinyl copy of Lost Dogs on LD.  Go check it out on the thread for entry rules.

OK carry on!

Yeah…

I remember during the middle of 2020, thinking to myself “I hope lots of songwriters are spending some time, writing music.”

kv did not disappoint.  Damn. Loving this.

Jesus On A Wire.


This guy just excels at breezy, aimless, mid-tempo psychedelia...

Such a good album!

almost forgot he was playing in philly twice next week. I might try and go to Saturday's show.

Just saw him MPLS on Wednesday.  Great set!  New stuff sounds so good....

Forgot he was playing right down the road from me in Ardmore, PA (very small venue) next week. Unfortunately both nights are sold out. The tix were pretty expensive I heard though. like $100.for both days.
