Last night, Vampire Weekend played their first American show in nearly two years at Cleveland’s House Of Blues. During a show that was otherwise jammed with crowd-pleasing jams from the band’s first two albums, they took the time to knock out an as-yet-untitled new song with a jumpy acoustic groove and a marvelously assured chorus. Watch them play the song and check out the show’s setlist below.
SETLIST:
“Cousins”
“White Sky”
“Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa”
“M79″

One part Violent Femmes, one part Paul Simon, one part pure VW. I like it.
So is the new album happening this year or what? It would be fitting since this has been such a good year for music.
Chatting to Rolling Stone, lead singer Ezra Koenig said: “It would be cool if it was [released] this year. I always want to release music as soon as possible, but more and more I’m realizing it’s something you almost have no control over. We just never want to be in a position [where] when we put out something, we feel could’ve benefited from more time.”
I’m thinking early 2013.
big time bee’s tittes

Man these guys just do it right! *drops mic*
Love Vampire Weekend, but will Rostam ever put out a solo album?
Discovery was him and one other guy right?
Wes Miles from Ra Ra Riot.
Love Vampire Weekend. People tend to over-think them. They’re simply a smart pop act and they’re songs are catchy as hell.
VW are my favourite current band. Just a great pop group who write perfect pop songs. Really looking forward to the new album when it drops.
cant really good a handle on this tune from the recording
