Kurt Vile – The Hope // 22nd May 2011 Smoke Ring For My Halo, Vile’s fourth studio album and second with Matador, had some pretty massive expectations to live up to given his previous releases and, backed up by an 8.4 from Pitchfork, most certainly lived up to it. An incredibly well-done blend of country, roots, and rock but without sounding dull in the slightest, a live show should be spine-tingling.   Click here to buy tickets You can visit Kurt Vile by heading to http://kurtvile.com   Other Gigs 16/05/11: Chain and the Gang / Comet Gain / The Sticks – Prince Albert // Click here to buy tickets 18/05/11: Narrows – Green Door Store// Click here to buy tickets 19/05/11: Ra Ra Riot – Audio // Click here to buy tickets 20/05/11: Parts & Labor – Green Door Store// Click here to buy tickets
