Kurt Vile has been seen and heard on television sets across the country on the late-night circuit (Colbert, Meyers, Letterman, Conan, etc), as an animated singing squirrel on HBO’s Animals, covering the Squidbillies theme song, as a roadie on Portlandia, playing King Silly on Yo Gabba Gabba!, and as an answer on Jeopardy.  He has collaborated with artists including Courtney Barnett, J Mascis, Kim Gordon, Hope Sandoval, John Prine, John Cale and Willie Nelson and has toured the world several times over.  With hundreds of thousands of records sold and a day named in his honor in Philadelphia, Kurt Vile’s future promises a boundless ascendancy in the next leg of his beloved and storied career.
