Matador Records just shared the new music video from Kurt Vile for the track "KV Crimes," which was directed by The Best Show on WFMU‘s Tom Scharpling. Yes, this is the one that you gathered together for the parade in Fishtown. We love that Wawa’s hoagies were represented! Also, on August 28, Mayor Nutter has officially declared it to be Kurt Vile Day. Vile will be playing a free solo concert in City Hall Courtyard (5:30pm) for the season finale of the City Hall Presents summer concert series. Before his set, the City of Philadelphia will present him with the Liberty Bell Award, the highest honor the City can bestow upon one of its citizens. The award is given only to native Philadelphians for recognition of outstanding professional achievements and civic generosity. Yeah, it’s safe to say that Kurt Vile and the Philly indie music community has come a long way in the last few years. Much love!
