Prepare for an evening of hazy, slacker rock as Kurt Vile & The Violators descend upon The Prospect Building in Bristol on 7th September. Hailing from Philadelphia, the band, fronted by the enigmatic Kurt Vile, has carved out a distinctive niche with their laid-back grooves and a sound steeped in psychedelic Americana. Their live performances are renowned for their improvisational spirit, often featuring extended guitar explorations that weave effortlessly between introspective moments and bursts of energetic jamming. Fans can anticipate a set that encapsulates Vile's signature blend of thoughtful songwriting and a wonderfully unhurried, yet captivating, musicality. This promises to be a thoroughly engaging night for anyone drawn to that unique, sun-drenched sonic territory.
The band draws influences from lo-fi, psychedelic and classic rock.
The group consists of frontman Kurt Vile on guitar and vocals, Jesse Turbo on guitar and slide, Mike Zeng on percussion and Adam Granduciel on guitar and bass.
