Vampire Weekend

No this is not how I will spend my weekend: watching vampire theme movies (Bram Stoker's Dracula, one of my many favs) nor, waiting in some cave for bats to come and bite. This is about a band from NY, NY. I myself would call it "polite punk"... if there is such a thing.

Poor quality video and sound... but you feel the good vibe

"Vampire Weekend’s not what you’d expect from New York rock. That’s part of the point. Hear it in groups like Dirty Projectors, Animal Collective, and High Places—the city’s best independent bands are less and less serious (Interpol), less fashion conscious (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), less hatefully avant-garde (Liars) and, crucially, less concerned with rock’s rhythmic predictability (the Strokes). No terrible beauties being born, no purple verse rising up from the cracks in concrete." Last Plane to Jakarta

ALL FOUR SONGS ARE A MUST LISTEN IN THEIR MySpace, especially A-Punk (my fav) and for you always grammatically correct scholars, listen to "Oxford Comma".
