Buzz from some WASP’s

Vampire Weekend. They’re that cheeky, east-coast ivy-league-meets-the-islands manifestation of Wes Anderson soundtracks, the Beach Boys, and Paul Simon’s Graceland that you’ve been hearing so much about. I love them in an I’ve-only-heard-four-songs way, but luckily their much-anticipated LP drops on the 28th of this month, hopefully not destined to be a disappointment.

In the meantime, here is the brand-new video for “A-Punk”:

And here’s the older video for “Mansard Roof”:

“Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa” was stuck in my head for much of 2007; it’s fun, it’s breezy, like sipping mamosas on a yacht. Which I don’t have, and which I can’t do anyway because I’m underage (and therefore missed them last time they hit Seattle at the Croc). Luckily the band is playing at Neumo’s on March 26th, (let’s make that shit all-ages, please).

vampire weekend makes me wonder how rusted root became such a huge influence on the indie rock scene.

Yes, it needs to be all ages, my 4 year old loves them. :) No, I'm not really taking her but I will be buying the album.
