NYC's Vampire Weekend Continue Relentless Touring
2008-05-15 10:35:00 With a catchy name and unique sound that combines indie rock-pop and Afro influences, New York's collegiate 'indie' sensation Vampire Weekend have managed to become one of the the hottest bands during the past two years, selling out shows, performing on Saturday Night Live and garnering a massive amount of buzz in the mainstream press and on countless music blogs.But there are disadvantages of being so popular; there are music fans who absolutely love the band, and there are others who declare VW are vastly over-rated.Live MP3: Vampire Weekend performing "M79" at SxSW 2008Yet the soaring popularity of the band appears to be unabated. That can be a good and a bad thing, as we?ve seen so many times before. Nonetheless, I?d bet my Cadillac that many record labels are in a bidding war for these guys right now.The band has toured relentlessly since early 2007, and there is no sign that they intend to take a break. In fact, VW are booked solid through the end of September when they wil...

Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
2008-05-04 21:11:00 I Vampire Weekend sono una band formata da quattro giovani newyorkesi conosciutisi mentre frequentavano la Columbia University. In poco tempo, grazie anche al web, la loro popolarità è aumentata notevolmente e questi simpatici e bravi ragazzotti si sono conquistati recensioni positive dai critici e ampi consensi dal pubblico. Oltre che un contratto con la XL Recordings. Il loro album d'esordio, "Vampire Weekend", è uscito a fine gennaio e posso subito dirvi, se ancora non lo avete ascoltato, di procurarvelo perché è un disco straordinario.I Vampire Weekend riescono, nelle loro canzoni, a mescolare con sapienza e disinvoltura indie pop-rock e musica africana e caraibica, ottenendo un risultato entusiasmante. E' fresco e divertente questo disco. E si fa ascoltare e riascoltare senza stufare. L'iniziale "Mansard Roof" dà subito la carica col suo ritmo spedito, grazie a quelle percussioni cavalcanti. "Oxford Comma" coinvolge col suo ritmo tropicale per lasciarci poi ad una delle mie ...

2008-04-24 18:57:00 In April of 1968, Columbia University's chapter of Students for a Democratic Society seized campus buildings in protest of both the Vietnam War, the plans to build a gymnasium in Morningside Heights and the university's involvement with a DOD thinktank, all resulting in a little over 700 arrests and what could be construed as one of the most influential moments in student activism and uprising. In April of 2008, four Columbia grads in the band Vampire Weekend played a few songs on the television program "Jimmy Kimmel Live", in what could be construed as a defining moment in the history of deck shoes in the American pop culture landscape. Also, they had special guests from the Crenshaw High School drumline. My how far things have come. (mp3) Vampire Weekend - Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa (live on WXPN) Godspeed!

Vampire Weekend no Porto (Com os... Young Marble Giants!)
2008-04-09 14:16:00 Abençoado festival Primavera Sound, em Barcelona - que tantas e tão boas memórias me traz (olá Gonçalo, Mário, LuÃs e João!) - que permite que, à boleia da sua programação, muitos dos grupos e bandas que por lá se apresentam também passem por Portugal (e em sÃtios distintos como a ZDB e o Lux, em Lisboa, o Mercado Negro, em Aveiro, ou a Casa da Música, no Porto). E é na Casa da Música que vão actuar, dia 30 de Maio, os rockers de alma africana Vampire Weekend (na foto; ver, por favor, crÃtica ao seu álbum de estreia, encontrável neste blog algumas páginas abaixo) e, ainda por cima, na mesma noite em que sobe ao palco uma das mais mÃticas bandas rock de sempre, os Young Marble Giants, autores do absolutamente maravilhoso álbum «Colossal Youth».

Vampire Weekend Offer Peek at New Album at San Francisco Easter Sunday Show
2008-03-25 20:50:00 It was another sold out, packed-to-capacity venue show at the Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco Easter Sunday as the sensation over the New York City indie pop band Vampire Weekend continues to grow unabated. The following is a short video clip of the band jamming to the yet-unreleased song "Little Giant, with Rostam on guitar (by the way, Rostam is not Latino or 'Mexican'; he's Persian. Plus, I met him on Sunday and he doesn't look like that David kid on American Idol, ok?! I'm sure Rostam is sick of hearing that comparison.)Vampire Weekend's signature brand of indie pop mixes reggae and hip hop sounds with songs about Cape Cod, garbage in New Jersey, mysterious people ("Blake"and "Walcott") and that damn "Oxford Comma". They are one of the few 'buzz bands' that demonstrates a genuine interest in their fans, as they made clear throughout their performance at the Rickshaw Stop.

Vampire Weekend's Free 40 Minute Studio Session on KCRW
2008-03-19 08:47:00 (photo, courtesy of CrackersUnited)Even before their 'big time' appearance on Saturday Night Live earlier this month, Vampire Weekend was one of the biggest new bands of 2008, if not the biggest new band of the year, at least as far as the 'buzz factor' goes.Weeks leading up to the February release of their debut self-titled album on Beggar's Banquet, VW had captured the attention of bloggers, music critics and 'indie' fans, mostly due to their performances last year in concert, at music festivals and their Feb. 1st U.S. network debut on the David Letterman Show. Vampire Weekend - Boston Vampire Weekend - Walcott Vampire Weekend - A-Punk (Watch and listen to Vampire Weekend play a 40-minute session clicking the video further down the page)Many fans were disappointed by VW's performance on SNL (the string section wasn't synced with the band).

Grand Ole Party Touring With Rogue Wave Throughout US in April

(I don't think so, but you be the judge.) Plus, the name; that's the best they could come up with? GOP? Maybe they'll get a spot at a McCain rally.

DeVotchka, Vampire Weekend e Yeasayer - O Rock, Cada Vez Mais World Music
2008-03-07 12:04:00 A atracção de músicos pop/rock anglo-saxónicos por músicas de outros lados do mundo não é uma coisa nova... A história - e a linhagem - é mais que conhecida: Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel, David Byrne (com e sem os Talking Heads), Brian Eno, Sting, Paul Simon, Jah Wobble, Ry Cooder, boa parte do pós-punk/no wave nova-iorquino de inÃcios dos anos 80, etc, etc... E, nos últimos anos, essa tendência tem, em vários grupos e artistas, tomado diversas direcções: dos Animal Collective aos Beirut, dos Tindersticks aos Calexico... Desta vez, a fornada é feita com mais três grupos norte-americanos de rock, digamos assim, que se deixaram cativar por músicas de outros lados do mundo: os DeVotchKa, os Yeasayer e os Vampire Weekend (na foto).DEVOTCHKA«A MAD AND FAITHFUL TELLING»Anti- RecordsEm tempos que já lá vão, os DeVotchKa foram a banda de apoio dos espectáculos burlescos de...

Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
2008-03-07 08:36:00 You can almost hear anything on Vampire Weekends self-titled after Mansard Roof EP (their debut), but in a mediocre level. It’s a weird fake feeling I get and I’m not sure if it’s right or not. But many melodies do not sound original to me e.g. the violin on “M79â€. The band has mixed some pop-rock with afro-pop melodies; they (the afro-pops) keep themselves way apart from what Ezra Koenig is doing. He has a voice between The Shins’ James Mercer when he’s singing normally and Band Of Horses’ Ben Bridwell when he sings on a higher note but either way fails to escape from a teenager level and the lyrics barely climb up that ladder. It’s a bit too optimistic to compare Vampire Weekend with Peter Gabriel and Talking Heads, maybe they are too inexperienced for that. All I can point out from their self-titled is a guitarless Sublime in their self-titled (only listen to “A Punk†to figure out the resemblance). Sublime’s late Brad Nowell used to employ the same tricks...

Vampire Weekend: Vampire Weekend
2008-01-31 05:29:00 Vampire Weekend: Vampire WeekendThe debut album from New York indie band Vampire Weekend reminds us that even though a band's name sucks doesn't necessarily mean the band sucks.Vampire Weekend is one of those pretentious indie bands from New York that I would usually hate but something about them just won't let me.They came to rise through several blogs hyping them including Stereogum and Ear Farm. Earlier this month Rolling Stone called their song "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" one of the best songs of 2007.Their music is a blend of indie rock and tribal African rhythms. The band members pretentiously refer to their genre as "Upper West Side Soweto". Perhaps my liking of them comes from the fact that I was raised on Paul Simon's Graceland.The truth is that the band has a great grasp of what makes pop music pop. Their addition of infuences like African rhythms just is a way to make pop music more interesting than a generic 4/4 time, three chord song.Rating: 8.3/10MP3: Vampire Week...
