Vampire Weekend

I really love these guys!

I went to one of their free Central Park concerts a few weeks ago, (and got drenched on twice) and it was amazing!

They've got a really new sound, I really couldn't compare them to anyone else I've heard. Much of their first album is upbeat, fast moving.... Its like indie-rock music thats a great listen, but its also nearly dance music.

A friend told me that a few months ago they opened for some other band (don't remember who) and they got booed off stage, but then a month later they performed again and everyone loved them all of a sudden. America is fickle, alas.

Anyway, so their pretty new. I love them, the concert was great. They sound amazing live, just as good as the recording.

Go see them! Or take a listen!

Like Vampire Weekend? How about Wolf Parade....

Can't stop listening to them right now. They're of the same ilk.

Thanks for the comment! I checked them out and really like them.

Have you heard Modest Mouse? Same Ghost Every Night reminded me of them also.

DOH! I listen to so much stuff I didn't realise Same Ghost Every Night was a Wolf Parade song, not a band.

Incidentally, whilst I'm flattered that you're listing my last.fm profile on your blog, I'm sure you meant to add your own...
