On a surprisingly still-very-hot, and sunny, afternoon on a dry and dusty weekend, TBD Fest in West Sacramento, October 5th 2014. Kurt Vile and the Violators on stage, with a sound that is connected to, yet different from, The War On Drugs who had performed the previous day.

Another one of my favourites from the festival; yes, both The War On Drugs and Kurt Vile (and some of the others) had some sound problems but very few people expect concert-hall perfection at an outdoor festival: the good people of Sacramento spend many dollars going to concerts at the local basketball arena where the sound can be horrible even when it's all working, so guys, it was fine.

I did wonder if I'd be able to find a picture of Kurt's happy face, as most of the show he was hiding (from the sun? the crowd?) inside a mass of long, wavy hair. But then he smiled through.

All festival musicians should wear sunglasses. Mirror sunglasses preferred. I love looking for reflections: see the ones in this gallery!

Kurt Vile and the Violater's latest album, it's a big world out there (and I am scared), is out now from your usual outlets. They will be playing in Los Angeles in November: keep an eye on the tour page for new dates.
