doesnt sound like the gig I was at, thought it was excellent, the support band "windings" were good as well

Windings are class. Always have been. Maybe that was the problem. They were too hard an act to follow.

some people seemed to be able to get into Kurt Vile's set. Not many though, unless they were doing it on the inside, and I wasn't one of them.

Some lad on twitter (kindly [strike]re-[/strike]spam-tweeted by Foggy Notions) reckoned last night's gig was "Wonderful, loose, organic, rocking set from Kurt Vile at whelanslive , quite unique"

You guys didn't witness a wonderfully unique rocking set in some sort of loose & organic way? Oh well.

"Wonderful, loose, organic"

did he soil his pants?

I enjoyed it. The solo finger picky acoustic stuff I can take or leave, but when he played with the band I thought it sounded great, loose 70's rock jams.

It was patchy but some definite highlights - Peeping Tom was lovely. They were a bit sloppy at times though and the encore went on for too long, they lost a bit of momentum. Still, it was their first gig of the tour so you can forgive them a little ramshackleness.

Windings were boring except for the last two songs, which were terrific. If those two are an indication of their new album then I'd be interested to hear more. Not bad for a Sunday night.
