There has not been a band that has enjoyed such ubiquitous blog buzz since let’s say Clap Your Hands Say Yeah as this week’s Listen Up, Vampire Weekend. Last night this band played a sold-out show in New York’s Bowery Ballroom (home to such greats as The National).
Vampire Weekend - Bowery Ballroom (1/29/08)
The show was their album release party for the self titled debut and featured all of the things that come with such a rapid rise to stardom: screaming fans, hipsters enjoying their last chance to be unpretentious, and a sense of the impending explosion.
This will most likely come in the form of energized fans everywhere dancing to their Smile-pop beats. Vampire Weekend’s stuff will make you feel good!
Here it is: Listen Up to Vampire Weekend

Carlye, for the last time, I am not some alien that hates pop music. I rather enjoy it.

i think they may have been over-hyped, but damn do they write catchy, original tunes.
