We Officially Declare This Weekend… Vampire Weekend

So we all know these NY indie-pop-rockers from the likes of ‘Oxford Comma’ and ‘A-Punk’, but foursome Vampire Weekend have hit back in 2010 with a brand spanking new album, and they’re making bigger waves than ever.

From their free performance at Somerset House last Thursday, followed by a sell-out show in Kingston and multiple gigs in London over the weekend, the new album, ‘Contra‘ has entered the number 3 spot in this weeks’ official album chart.  It seems there’s something about these lads that people warm to, and it’s been impossible to avoid seeing or hearing them this past week. Potential festival headliners? We think so.
