Not really, but Vampire Weekend…The one thing I fangirl for.
Chris Baio (bass), Chris Thompson (percussion), Ezra Koenig (vocals, lead guitar), Rostam Batmanglij (everything)
Ezra Koenig, the lead singer, is my modern day Paul McCartney. I recently just saw them at Sasquatch Music Festival, and I felt like I was 16 again. It was my second time seeing them live, and like the first time, I had to choke back tears of happiness. Oh man, that sounds dramatic, but their smart lyrics, funny tweets, and sharp looks, these friends who met while attending Columbia University just kill me!
Here, see for yourself!
Video for Oxford Comma from their first, self titled “Vampire Weekend” album (Warning: There is profanity)
Video for ‘Cousins’ from their sophomore album, “Contra”
My friends and I were ecstatic when Contra came out. We waited with anticipation, and then went to their concert.

Picture taken by 16 year old Olivia (me) Look at those chandeliers!
Unfortunately, I didn’t have a camera for when I recently saw them, but here are some tweets from Ezra
What a funny guy, right!? ^
And their most recent video for ‘Diane Young’ from their new album “Modern Vampires of the City” which features awesome people like Santigold, Dave Longstreth from Dirty Projectors, Chromeo, Sky Ferreira, and Hamilton Leithauser from Walkmen, Last Supper style
And now here are just some pictures of them
And last, but not least, Vampire Weekend hanging out with Steve Buscemi

Have a great day!
An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a friend who had been conducting a
little homework on this. And he actually bought
me dinner simply because I found it for him… lol. So allow me to reword this….
Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending the time
