Kurt Vile

In 2015, when Kurt Vile and The Violators performed "Freak Train" at the Pitchfork Music Festival, Vile was riding the wave of success from his critically acclaimed album "b'lieve I'm goin down..." released later that year. This album showcased Vile's exploration of both lyrical depth and eclectic sound, further solidifying his presence in the indie rock scene. The live performance at Pitchfork, a significant event in the music festival circuit, exemplified his flourishing musicianship and dynamic live presence. Notably, during this period, Vile's work was characterized by a blend of introspective songwriting and a laid-back, yet captivating, stage persona. His ability to engage the audience, combined with the impressive backing of his band, The Violators, made this performance a memorable highlight of the festival.
