M79 - Vampire Weekend live at the East River Amphitheater

[rpenney76]

Great Band...I dont know wtf jarobin is saying...noob!!Keep 'em playing!!Slainte'!!

[JarobinsRadio]

I actually do know what im talking about, google it dumb ass.

[rpenney76]

stfu..or prove it!!

[JarobinsRadio]

the name kwassa kwassa from the song cape cod kwassa kwassa is the name of an african style of music.

just google it yourself, its not hard im not gonna argue with a stupid person.

[rpenney76]

okay.... first off they are the WHITEST group of men you could possibly find in America today. Second, the lead singer is from ROMAINIA!!!! Hardly likely they would be playing AFRICAN music! Lastly, little boy, this style is called SKA!!!!!! Been listening to it since you've been in diapers. Trust me little man, you don't want to go there!

[JarobinsRadio]

first of all im 17. So I dont know how old you are, but you are to damn old to be this stupid.

sublime, mighty mighty boss tones, and bands like that are ska. ska is reggae sped up, and ska also came from Africans which is just commom scene. this music is just indie, pop very influenced by african rhythms and beats. if you google "Vampire Weekend, African music", you can find out. also just because ezra is romanian doesnt mean he wont go to columbia university and play african music.

[K2SKIER12311]

@rpenney76 what the hell are you talking about. ezra keonig is a jewish kid from new jersey who is fifth generation ivy league grad, the keyboardist is persian, the drummers a jock, and the bassist, well, hes pretty white. ANyways they put classical music before african on their myspace. And ezra lived in bed stuy after college for a bit. I think that just about strips them from being the whitest group of men in america

[rpenney76]

you noobs need to get your heads checked!!LMFAO...and you know who you are!!f*k'n tards!! shut up..and enjoy the music!!

[fuzzking101]

listen to everyone and google it haha

[JarobinsRadio]

they play straight up African music, but only white people like them. shame

[rpenney76]

@JarobinsRadio you are an Idiot!!

[kareeboop]

VW is one of my top bands ever! :)

[karmakamillion]

they are awesome cause they give me a rhode island or new england vibe. There music and looks is like that. does that make sense?

[kareeboop]

i totally agree with you! :)

[thembrown]

I agree though I suppose it is a mid to late 80s New England that I see

[headman844]

was this the place that was in flight of the conchords?

[politik827]

exactly what i was thinking! haha. i'm pretty sure it is.

[Pointblank88]

they are brilliant because they sound 80's

[betoski]

[SPV926]

[eddie11111]

piss off and listen to some real music

[tommyblunt]

douchebag

[betoski]

love this song love the band Woot!

[stormyflight]

artic monkeys meets the view ... kinda cool, but borderline twee . Beruit they sure aint

[kdavs823]

Why are they called Vampire Weekend?

Well the Vampire part is an obvious reference to their whiteness. Also vampires suck things, and the name vampire weekend sort of suggests a gathering, so I think the title refers to them gathering around to suck each other's bleach white cocks.

[betoski]

wiki ftw loser

[kuntz07]

how long did it take you to come up with that one, asshole?

[kdavs823]

Probably not as long as it took for you to come up with your sick burn

[ratm002]

i love vampire weekend but goddamn that's funny

[K2SKIER12311]

@kdavs823

its the name of the movie ezra keonig made in college

[MournfulWine]

paul simon is pissed

[cheaptequila17]

they can play some music.

and to the moron critics who listen to metallica and nickelback that commented on this video... Please try to compose better music than this. I dare you.

[wetherbygeorgedupree]

Dexy's Midnight M79

Come on Vampire Weekend

[vivelavidarocka]

They have been in the city's rock scene for about two years now. They are defenitely fun to watch alive, but I think is to soon for them to leave the small club's circuit, that's where a band actually get its foundation for better things, not in a studio that belongs to a fat suit that's gonna tell them what to do or not do..Anyways good luck...

[WeRockU]

what do you people listen to? hardcore death metal? cause thats the real music...

i love this song and im so happy we actually have a good band around that is different fro all he shitty mainstream crap

[pupusasdechicharron]

there are lots of bands that are different from the "shitty mainstream crap." you just have to look harder

[eyesuckass]

Anybody that thinks this shit is music is lost...... It's awful. God people where are your ears? Thsi shit sucks!

[jakethedog32065]

R U serious?

Sounds like carnival music, only whiter and cheesier....

I want some cotton candy and a funnel cake!

This just confirms that white kids are just as dorky as the black kids say they are...

[VoteForPedrooo]

amazing song and band, discoverd them today :) but for how long have they been famous in the US??

[AveryIslandTV]

about 11 days. i'm sure all the indie-hipsters have been listening to them since 1987...but for middle america, we've just been blessed by their sound.

[unionsupreme]

like march 3rd or so cuz thats when mtv deemed them artist of the week and then they sky rocketed like paramore did

[kookoo4cocoapuffs]
