I love the way he quotes Sam Cooke ("don't know much about history") and The Band ("don't know much about the shape I'm in") in "Dust Bunnies". KV is obviously his own man, but you can hear all kinds of Americana influences, all coming together into something new.

something i love about Kurt Vile is that his songs are long, i can enjoy them fully for that reason.

That version of Pretty Pimpin kicks ass, guys look so laid back but the sounds are going bananas!!

The Philadelphia Dream Machine. His haze has been in the background of my life for a few years now and he's only getting better. Hope he's writing tunes for decades to come.

Discovering there's a new Kurt Vile and the Violators performance on KEXP is great way to spend a lazy Sunday.

One of my favorite artists of the past 10 years. So lucky to interview him in 2009 on the lawn of a local bar. Thank you KEXP....I've haven't heard a bad song yet. Prolific and I'm predicting he's going to be one of the biggest superstars of this generation. The arrow is going up big time.

I saw him LIVE in Barcelona, in 2014. Never heard of him before that concert. It is my top 1 favourite concert of my life. It changed me, it was surreal. He was like a Jesus Christ with a guitar. I swear, I was so mind-blown I have not been able to feel what I felt those 2 hours.

dust bunnies..really on point. Goldtone blew me away. So grateful to have kexp locally on my radio

Kurt has finally peaked, never been better, this is pure magic.

I have seen this so many times, great performance & interview.

My dad introduced me to his music. It took me a while to truly start appreciating his music, but I must say, he is a phenomenal artist!

hoooooly! i just discovered them! i'm in love

what a beautiful show, thanks!

wonderful performance. thanks again kexp

This is so good! Love the sound and Kurt's voice.

I just recently got hooked on a song "Pretty Pimpin'" I love the song and really enjoy this performance. Awesome!

Only recently found Kurt, but he seems to find so many beautiful riffs, many so simple, but just's brings great songs together, love this band. (Kevin, UK)

So great!!!

I just discovered Kurt Vile streaming WZRD from Chicago up here in Wisconsin. I Shazammed "Rollin With the Flow," and am I glad I did. Kurt kills as a songwriter and singer, and he's a fascinating guitarist. Doesn't do traditional "leads" but mixes up all the chords and rhythms to lay down a nice bed of sound. The guys he plays with are awesome as well. I've only scratched the surface in the past two days, but "Pretty Pimpin" is my latest favorite song. It just keeps up this drone and beat, and the imagery is just so cool.

Oh wow, love this so much!!!

Awesome. Thanks.

tyvek05 Umm... No. Kurt played a Jag (with two humbuckers) all of the damn time. I believe he had died before the jagstang actually went into production. He just played a mustang with a humbucker in the bridge.

Kurt and the Violators sound absolutely entrancing live. I don't go to a lot of live music, but this band is one I'm dying to see. I only wish I could've gotten Lollapalooza tickets this year to see them in Chicago. I fell in love with them this past winter and I can't get enough!

Just Great Music!

There must be some kind of correlation between great musicians and awkwardness. Doug Martsch and Kurt Vile are incredible musicians and really awkward interviews. But man, I’m glad they’re out there making the world a better place.

I will never let go of Paul. the jam the style council are completely overlooked in the states. but they did put a stamp here when I was young. legendary songwriting and complete cool.

And one more thing, Vile could join almost any band and fit right in as a second guitar 🎸 or backing vocals or lead. He’s so versatile! Thanks KEXP and KZread!
