NEWS: Kurt Vile Announces One Off Auckland Show In December
Wednesday , 28 Sep 2011
Strange News, High Seas & Under the Radar are delighted to announce American songsmith Kurt Vile will be playing one show only in Auckland this December with his band The Violators.
Garnering praise from peers (Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore, J Mascis and Bradford Cox) and critics alike, Kurt Vile's fourth long-player has firmly established as one of this generation’s great American songwriters. Smoke Ring For My Halo, is the remarkable album by the Philadelphia musician which is due to be re-released around the NZ show date with a bonus disc.
The "bonus disc" is the So Outta Reach EP which is a collection of five original songs recorded during the sessions for Smoke Ring For My Halo but not used for the album, which were later reworked with producer John Agnello. The EP also includes a unique take on Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Downbound Train’.
The So Outta Reach EP will be available with the deluxe 2-CD version of Smoke Ring For My Halo released on November 7th at the same price as the standard CD. The EP will also be a stand alone digital release and as a limited 12” to be released on the same day, if delivery gods allow of course.
Opening track ‘The Creature’ is available to download as a free MP3 here.
