Possibly the greatest team-up this decade is the Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile collaboration. The two will be releasing a special album Lotta Sea Lice … but expect the two to play their own songs live on this special Palace Theatre event.
Vile & Barnett’s all-star band is called The Sea Lice, which features Janet Weiss (from Sleater-Kinney), Rob Laakso (from The Violators), Stella Mozgawa (from Warpaint) and Katie Harkin (from Sky Larkin).
The duo just headlined Friday’s Desert Daze 2017 music festival in California.
Show up early to check out Jen Cloher. She recently released ‘Strong Woman’, the third single off her self-titled fourth record.
Note: the show is sold out.
