Watch Kurt Vile talk about CDs, American Psycho and how he met his bandmates in an interview with Consequence of Sound at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo (playing City Hall Courtyard on 8/28)

Consequence of Sound’s Rock it Out! Blog took Kurt Vile to the zoo and dug into the singer-songwriter’s recent Wakin On A Pretty Daze LP, how he met the current members of The Violators and his on-the-road reading habits against a backdrop of grazing giraffes and chirping birds. Vile plays a free show in the City Hall Courtyard on August 28th and XPN welcomes him to Union Transfer on October 26th. Information for both shows can be found here.
