Featured Artist: Vampire Weekend

Vampire Weekend aren’t your average indie rock band.  This New York City quartet’s songs are vibrant, fun, and deceivingly complex. 

It’s impossible to describe their style in a few simple adjectives, or at least we just didn’t want to try.  But, according to them their music is best described as “Upper West Side Soweto,” whatever that means. 

Their influences are diverse, ranging from African popular music to Western Classical.  Their offbeat humor and effective use of strings and other instruments not usually associated with indie rock serve them well.
