The Modern Age

Vampire Weekend was just on Letterman. If you saw the performance, you’d already know that they performed their TRL-approved single, “A-Punk,” off their recently released self-titled album.

As the performance was taped on Tuesday night, they were wearing the same clothes that folks saw them dressed in later at their Bowery Ballroom show. (See photo below, […]

Tonight (Wednesday, January 30) I went to go see zee the sold out Vampire Weekend at Bowery Ballroom.
Photos for now. Commentary later.

Watch the video for Vampire Weekend’s catchy tune, “A-Punk.” Directed by Hammer & Tong. I’m assuming the entire video was just one shot? Y/N?

Vampire Weekend’s self-titled first full-length album will drop on Beggars and XL Records (UK) at the end of the month. The VW boys will play two sold out shows at Bowery Ballroom […]
