Band of the Week : Vampire Weekend

You pop in the DVD Step Brothers and you’re automatically greeted with A-Punk by Vampire Weekend. Perfect way to start a movie? Hell yeah. These Colombia graduate musicians mean business when it comes to indie rock.

No they’re not obsessed with vampires if that’s what you’re thinking. Their name originates from a film done in college by one of the members, Ezra Koenig,  about vampires on Cape Cod.  This band is guilty of using many different styles in their music, giving them their unique sound.  Their first album, Vampire Weekend, was a huge hit.  They’ve recently just came out with a second album, Contra, which is absolutely as good as the first.  Check them out; Cousins on Contra + Cape Cod Kwassa on Vampire Weekend are some personal favs.

They won’t suck your blood, but they’ll make you fall more in love then you ever were with Edward Cullen.
