White Sky - Vampire Weekend's New Song

[Ravager134]

The cooing is always so awesome, but idk why

[Hannahsbigestfannahs]

THey always look like thay have a blast performing this song :)

[raiders2000]

..this is such a unique talented band..and you can tell they have so much fun at what they do :)

..and they don't seem stuck up and full of themselves like so many singers today.. (Lady Gaga, Jennifer lopez, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Adam ' gay' Lambert... all stuck shallow singers who have nothing on VAMPIRE WEEKEND )

[shreadhead96]

is it just me or does Ezra remind you of Ian Curtis in this video?

[HAPPYxLOVEx]

I wish i was there!

[nanea465]

i like that they play new music before it's released, and you can see how the songs evolve...

[shellovski]

This is Zimbabwean "chimurenga" and is why I love Vampire Weekend. A great song.

[dancer101511]

Ezra dances funny but it's cute heh heh

[dateina]

i luv VAMPIRE WEEKEND

[Jamieisastar]

I always lol at the way Ezra dances, :)

[dangerdowning]

Paul Simon's Graceland album. that's vampire weekend.

[skipmx]

Wow... I was thinking that I was the only human being in the planet that noticed "some mood familiarity-sound alike" with Graceland by Paul Simon. Cheers!!!

[teegemagic]

god i would do anything to see them live

[comehead914]

including buying tickets?

[letsallghetcrunk1]

backing tracks?? like that muted appregio thing

[somethingfunny95]

after hearing half of Contra, this is probably the best song on the album.

[Lindlaar]

Guess you haven't heard horchata

[and1bball888]

no man california english is the best

[somethingfunny95]

horchata is pretty great. California english is good too. But White Sky is definitley the best. This video doesn't do it justice, but I saw these guys in Long Beach a few weeks back and this was the best song they played.

[manifredde]

come to rome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[HalfFullYeah]

Wanna hug my girlfriend!!

[kol2402]

Love it!!! love vampire

[Caisey1208]

oh my dear lord this is quite possibly THE best song.

[hraevn]

so adorable! love them so much

cant wait for the new album

[AEOuriel]

seriously! it's been so long since they've released some new tunes, and i hate how everyone gives them crap for only releasing one studio album so far, claiming they only had five minutes of fame.

they're really talented and i'm very much anticipating the second album!

[ChristopherTomsonJr]

lyrics are different now from how this one started.

[LunaSol29]

cool this was on my birthday :)

[GoldenFocker]

amazing sound quality

[KradricxMEM]

wait are they recording a new album

ottoman, little giant, now this?

are these just b-sides?

[sauceyboy]

lp coming this sept

[WeeeePea]

thats so far away :(

[iamjohnstone]

wow, finally an original piece of criticism.

[Zombien20]

I'd have to say Graceland continuation. Part of the reason I love em. The guitar does sound like "Crazy Love" though. But yeah, it sounds like something I fell in love with so many years ago and I can't criticize them for making it. I'm just so happy have a band that finally decided to be gutsy enough to try it out.

[s1de]

VW=Volkswagen

[ihateyoukenny]

Agreeing with John Stone down there - not only is the comparison flawed, it is RIDICULOUSLY overused.

People - there are other pop/world music influences out there. Please get off Graceland's dick when talking about Vampire Weekend

[KradricxMEM]

couldn't have said it better myself

[Keumii56]

I'm agree with you :D

[ImaTakeAShowuh]

What is the reason for there being two exact same guitars on the stage and Ezra never playing anything other than that same hollowbody?

[farrygisher]

dont think they are the same

i think ones a gibson dot and i think the other is a rickenbacker 330. cant be sure tho.

[rikkycx]

the guitars are epiphone sheratons. yeah, both of them are the same.

in a photo on flickr of this set at the bowery, you can see rostam and ezra playing guitar together in at least one song, hence the need for two guitars.

[zackamundo22]

He might have a song that has different tuning, so he has one pretuned.

Also, what rikkycx said hahah

[YonderVillas]

jesus for a new song it's pretty old, january 2008

[speSHO]

Well I guess 'new' is just a relative term. New compared to those songs they wrote to on their album perhaps? And bands are always make songs wherever they are, not just the studio.

[rushruff91]

shit when is a new album coming !!!!

[Fenderkid212]

This sounds sort of like a sped up version of "Crazy Love part II" from Graceland.

[yusufcancu]

this is an amazing song

[juliefactorial]

i love this song! ezra is so cute. i especially admire his dancing skills! hah. i cant wait for the next album.

[coastofbarcelona]

oh when this song was still new

[vedas7317]

well its not on an album so you dont really need to give people shit? oh and call me when a band this good comes out of barcelona

[momohead35]

hahah ezra always does that dance o this song.

[theforsakenpiggies]

ROSTAM PLAYS GUITAR??

[Sk8rkid3]

they rock so freakin hard!!!!!!

[latinocampomar]

yeah viva vampire weekend the fucking best band i drugs with this band!!! XD

[bbeaup]

well, seeing as they went to columbia, i'd have to guess coke. just messing.

[menk28]

God I want to marry him!

[jcmckown22]

he dances fantastically.

[xIAMELECTROGIRLx]

honestly?

this is amazing.

amazing band, amazing music, amazing performance.

as for ezra koenig, i don't think i've seen anyone more beautiful with such an incredible voice, you should check out his old band, l'homme run, they're just as awesome.

absolutely cannot wait to see these guys in manchester, anyone know if they stick around after gigs for pictures and signing?

i'm in love with vampire weekend!

x.

[RockChalk221]

I actually met them last night. We had to wait an hour or so, but theyre the nicest most down to earth guys you'll ever. Goes to show you can be super nice and still be an amazing rock star.

[Sk8rkid3]

i know what you mean! most musicians i talk to are major jerks, but there really nice!

[erraticblissonetwo]

OMG! you guys did the background music for dora the explorer right??

[paulbanks999]

no!!!!!

[slipintoanightgown]

lmao!

[dazzpop]

GREAT, GREAT FUCKING SONG!

[Birddogtheband]

Crazy Love, Vol. II by Paul Simon. Any similarities?

[apotheosize]

very much especially the beginning but i love this song anyway!

[angiemeli25]

Dang! i dont think they have one bad song!

i love these guys!

[polykuromu]

wait, was that rostam on ezra's guitar ? oooh <3333

i love vampire weekend so much. the best part about them is how they carry themselves. they don't show up onstage with fancier dress like some other bands do (not that there's anything wrong with that); they just come casual, and to put on a show and have fun. it really makes you feel more comfortable. how adorable can they get ? .^.

[rag3xkag]

rostam playin the guitar? cool

[moschicambodia]

so ezra can dance haha

[Sk8rkid3]

lol thats awesome!!

[JAMFKru]

exquisite

[andylund]

sweet song!

they were at the hove-festival in norway, never seen so many people dance!

[FrankIeroIsMine]

AwOoOoooo!! (:

Love these boyaasssss <3

[AnnaThatShibby]

Ezra's dancing is pretty much lovely. Or unique, whatever you fancy x]

But yeah; he's lovely. I dig his orgasms.

[alberth3god]

Supposedly in 2009 there will be a new album

[ChoppinBroccoli22]

hooray!

[alberth3god]

YAY!!!!!!!

I can't wait at all

[m52pwr]

Yes, they said it will be in the fall of 2009. I don't know if I can wait that long.

[jpobz3563]

Jesus that seems like a long time =(

[johnsy25]

well, they did just release an album this year. and its already nearly midyear.

[garfreeek]

positive thinking ^_^

just wish there was a way i could play this song already! ;)

[polykuromu]

[tamaravel]

Can't wait for a second album
