Introducing...

Vampire Weekend’s name may make them sound like some kind of gothic weep-fest, however their tracks are firmly rooted in an quirky, upbeat style.

Their name came from an amateur movie made by lead singer Ezra Koenig, which curiously featured a young Ezra fighting off vampires (replete with scary masks,) in an attempt to protect his virginity. Sounds like an interesting watch!

Another one which makes for interesting viewing is their video for A-Punk. An infectious tune with an equally energetic video, you’ll have this in your head for weeks.

Like what you hear? Their album, Vampire Weekend, is available now and there are tickets available for upcoming tour dates.
