http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15352566&rws=%2Fvampire-weekend%2Fdiscography.rssDespite a very gothic name, Vampire Weekend is actually a preppy indie-rock band from New York City. The quartet -- which includes singer Ezra Koenig, bassist Chris Baio, drummer Chris Tomson and keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij -- combines jangly rock and Afro-pop. Literate songwriting that's heavy on the happy vibes is combined with swirling guitars and African rhythms; imagine if Paul Simon had a World Studies-majoring love child with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Vampire Weekend formed in early 2006 while all four members were still attending Columbia University. Their self-released EP drew high praise from <i>The New York Times</i>, which called it one of 2007's best debuts. The band has since signed to XL Recordings, and its much-hyped first album was released in early 2008. - Dan ShumateIndie Popen720Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:08:39 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15352566&rws=%2Fvampire-weekend%2Fdiscography.rss Despite a very gothic name, Vampire Weekend is actually a preppy indie-rock band from New York City.
