Kurt Vile releases video for 'KV Crimes' and has US day named after him
Philadelpia to celebrate 'Kurt Vile Day'
- Clean Bandit: The mix of classical and electronic music in Clean Bandit's sound is somewhat difficult to get used to at first, though one can't deny they are taking electronic music into interesting territories with their broad mix of styles. Although debut single 'A E' established the buzz, it was last month's 'Mozart%u2019s House' that set them apart from the crowd, thus making them the band on everyone's lips.

Kurt Vile has revealed a brand new video for the single 'KV Crimes'. See the clip below.
Not only that, but the Mayor of his hometown of Philadelphia has officially declared that 28 August will be 'Kurt Vile Day'.
A spokesman for Vile said: "The highest honour possible to bestow upon a citizen, the Liberty Bell Award, is being awarded to Kurt in recognition for 'outstanding professional achievements and civic generosity' and is only available to native Philadelphians."
The official ceremony takes place on 28 August, when Kurt will also play a free solo performance as a finale to the 'City Hall Presents' series, followed by the formal award presentation.
Vile's new video for 'KV Crimes', quite fittingly sees his atop a throne, leading a hometown procession through his hometown as 'King For A Day'.
