New Music For The Mundays: Vampire Weekend

Brooklyn's Vampire Weekend - New Album Out 1/28 [MP3] Vampire Weekend - A Punk [MP3] Vampire Weekend - Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa I was driving to the doctor this morning listening to Indie 103 when Vampire Weekend came on the radio. I realized that I never wrote about the band on Rock Insider! Eastern Conference Champion's CD release show back in July at Silverlake Lounge was held after the Brooklyn based quartet played for pretty much every A&R person in town. Vampire Weekend' spectral vocals, afro beats, and definite Talking Heads influence almost guarantees them entrance into The "Most Blogged About Music" Hall of Fame. Before you write them off as just another hipster band sure to wind up on a Urban Outfitter's new music sampler I implore you listen to "A Punk." The sunny track is a sure fire indie hit and actually is really flippin' good. Vampire Weekend will release their self-titled debut album Jan 28th on XL Recordings. You can pre-order the album over at Amazon. They will be playing The El Rey on March 20th and given the hole mid March in their touring schedule I'm more than certain you'll be able to see the band at this year's SXSW Music Festival in Austin.
