Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend - mp3 reivew

Friends and Colleaques:
Vampire Weekend is an indie rock band from New York City signed to XL
Recordings. They came to public attention via a variety of music blogs,
first on New York’s EAR FARM and then four months later on Stereogum,
leading many to cite them as another example of the “blog band”
phenomenon. The band is influenced by both African popular music and
Western Classical Music. They describe their genre of music as “Upper
West Side Soweto”, performing such songs as “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa,”
which references Congolese soukous music.
The members of the band — Ezra Koenig, Rostam Batmanglij, Chris Tomson,
and Chris Baio — met while attending Columbia University.
