Kurt Vile playing made a commercial w/ a Philadelphia Eagle, starring in IFC special

Kurt Vile continues to stay busy after the release of B’lieve I’m Goin Down way back in 2015 and the long touring cycle behind that album. We already mentioned that he has some shows coming up, and he’s shared a new promo for his Philly show on New Years Eve with a special guest: Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Connor Barwin.

Barwin is a noted indie-rock fan, and he’s a game accomplice for Vile’s shenanigans (along with “Jello Man”) in the clip, which advertises his show at the Fillmore on New Years Eve with support from Woods and Nathan Bowles.

Meanwhile, there are still tickets left for Kurt’s NYC show at Terminal 5 on December 28. He’s also added some tour dates in the Southern US and in Australia for 2017. Updated schedule below.

And in further Kurt Vile news, he’s starring in IFC’s Joe’s Pub Presents: A Holiday Special, which also features Lisa Loeb, Jen Kirkman, Tony Hale and house band The Dap Kings. That thing airs on December 21, so keep an eye out.
