#63: Wakin on a Pretty Daze with Kurt Vile

At this year's AES Convention, Gear Club camped out in Studio A at the venerated Sear Sound in New York City for two great days of interviews with visiting engineers, producers, and artists. During this time, Kurt Vile stopped by to talk with the guys about his writing and recording process, meeting some of his musical heroes, his current projects, and collaborating in the studio. A singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in Philadelphia, Kurt has worked extensively with Gear Club's very own John Agnello. He has spent over a decade bouncing between touring and recording with his band the Violators, as a solo act, and in collaborations with Courtney Barnett, The Sadies, and others. Kurt recently wrapped up a tour with Dinosaur Jr., and will be playing with The Violators January 18th at the 4xFar festival in Thermal, CA.
