/// STEAL THIS :: KURT VILE + THE VIOLATORS

I so was going to post this Monday but my week has already gotten away from me. I've been searching for a job & working on my shit to go back to school. I've also been spending an obnoxious amount of time scoping out the music scene here in Phoenix.

Luckily, I stumbled across Stateside Presents (Trust me, this is applicable to this post & future posts.) I always get overly excited when I see ambitious production companies organizing really great shows. And as if this wasn't awesome enough, I just found out that they will be opening a venue in October that already has fucking amazing shows booked: Crescent Ballroom. Gang Gang Dance, CSS, Friendly Fires, Washed Out, the Naked and Famous, St. Vincent, M83? Holy shit -- I'm going to have a busy autumn. So about my job applications... (I most definitely need to fund these shows. Now.) Look forward to more posts about great music & their live shows.

Speaking of STEAL THIS & live performances, I saw Kurt Vile + the Violators via Stateside Presents on Sunday. I have a soft spot in my heart for Kurt Vile. Not only are he & the Violators good ol' Philly kids, but he really started to gain momentum while I was living in Philly. I always associate his music with the camaraderie I felt with my friends that summer. Seeing him & hearing his music live made me think of my East coast kids. He did not disappoint; it was a wonderful show. (Sidenote: he has lovely hair.)
