[neoanarchobeatpunk]

I HAVE THE BASSIST'S SHOES. I AM NOW COOL.

[PorroFirst]

Very surprising, very good.

[chatelazo]

This gives me a Police vibe

[NickJohnRawson]

viola power!

[RyleeStrange]

Ezra looks like such a nice boy.  Mothers must love him.

[2paczfan]

@RyleeStrange are u a mother yourself?

[marnold6879]

23 people murdered his plants

[CooptheSnoop21]

They did good in this vid. Nice and slow

[pianoman930]

I think people these days have been brainwashed into thinking music needs to be ridiculously complex and fast to be considered good. A pity, too...this is great stuff.

[Quackster606]

they did an amazing job, great performance

[TheAmbushHunter]

this drummer is the man..i wana fuck the violin chick too

[Mariosdog]

@AzfarAzmi91 I understand it's very fashionable to wear a scarf especially when it's cold out, but indoors? while performing? really?

[dweebieMC]

dear god these guys are faggots. this isn't rock music. this is just pathetic. I wish iggy pop would jump onstage to rape them with broomsticks

[adivertisement]

@dweebieMC well then why the fuck did you click into the video and waist your time comenting (plus faggot isnt an insult)

[CornyTelecaster49]

@dweebieMC shut tp go away from this video if you dont like it!! and btw raping somebody with a broomstick is pretty faggy

[blakscull]

@dweebieMC 2/10 that's the best i can do.

[LovinTheNoise]

[devinblowe]

[aldasianiparr]

THAT COLUMBIA KID IS BACK (THE CELLO GUY)

[vfdrummer1]

The snare at 2:04 must have scared the fuck out of everyone! Great song!

[lukish7th]

all vampire weekend videos have a ridiculously low amount of dislikes... hell yeah

[vinyltransport]

so sick !!!!

[ellittsdavid]

@Pagra101 i know but i think it is ploop (not to be rude) XD.

[TheZakkattackk]

What's with the plastic divider between the strings players and the band?

[marchingscout14]

@TheZakkattackk so they can hear themselves while they play

[marchingscout14]

@TheZakkattackk so they can hear themselves and their own instruments while they play

[CocoaLuv22]

man i'm late.. i just found out today that B.o.B stole this song from them!

[Pagra101]

Vampire Weekend are facking fantastic!!!

[RingneckDoveFan]

i'm jealous.

[MrSuperTevez]

[solargesture]

[mutantpinyata4real]

[THEMADMANINYOURATTIC]

[MusicallyCharged]

[gahhhhhhhhhh2310]

[Criszzilla]

[MurrieB]

[whatstheverdict]

[LOOKoutITSspiderpig]

[Eliaquim0]

VW  IS AWEEEEEESOMEEE!!

[Mariosdog]

Why is he wearing a scarf indoors? It doesn't make any sense.

[Musicfan5ft8]

@Mariosdog I wear scarves inside sometimes, it's just a thing

[rocker9228]

@Musicfan5ft8 a gay thing.

[Musicfan5ft8]

@rocker9228 I don't care, I lost my scarf anyway :/ Not that you care, but yeah.

[sammy8a]

Beautiful!

[socholo219]

17 kids dont stand a chance

[6madhatter9]

@socholo219 now 23 have no chance :(

[spidermansupersexy1]

same guy playing cello in M79 at Colombia University?

[TheGreenteawithmilk]

@spidermansupersexy1 looks like it

[gNxX6]

If Pop Music Can Be This ; Does It Have AnyWhere Else To Go? Close The Books. Pop Music Is ZeitGheist, Vampire Weekend Is The Cure To WarMongering, Bite Down On Some Industrial-Strength BubbleGum.

[ASUNDAR83]

anyone know the name if this violin quartet?

[zeLudoo]

"All the way from france" : I live in France. YEAAAH ! (ok,i'm going out...)

[Kembawl42]

[singmeasong121]

Ezra's voice is amazing!

[iPaulTV]

Wow. His voice is sooo good live.

[UncleGermrod]

[DrivenBlack]

the scarf indoors says it all

[ChicIndie15]

I love how the Viola player got all the solos ....I'm so jealous,i wish i was her

[ASUNDAR83]

this is fucking good music

[alpace24]

Awesome, awesome AWESOME!

[smileitsmichellee]

she's actually playing a viola...but still awesome

[redguy1993]

i want her to violin me

[blueyedgrl108]

I have tried so hard to get into this band but never really liked their stuff in the studio (it just sounds too fake for me). But this is much better than their music they do in the studio and their music is good to listen to if you want to relax. But I just can't listen to their music they make in the studio without cringing.

[Friarmarkv]

@blueyedgrl108 This sounds nearly identical to the studio version.

[TheGodMan69]

their bassist is the best

[wally2714]

She nailed that violin solo. She's amazing.

[ASUNDAR83]

@wally2714 who is that anyway?????????????

[777emarosa777]

just me or does he keyboardist look like david archuleta in this?

[redguy1993]

@777emarosa777 a bit ahaha

[jjstacknik]

anyone who knows early XTC..this will remind you! love it!

[thee64]

The Police

[emilysaraahhh]

I looooove the drummer haha :) he is hectic

[julioperezespinoza]

this sounds like a christmas song! =D i fucking love it!!

[kbb1977]

@julioperezespinoza I play this album at work a lot and people always think this is a christmas song when they walk by my desk!

[julioperezespinoza]

@kbb1977 haha! this song have a christmas feeling!

[zachariahdylan]

no doubt one of the best bands out there right now. completely original, and that voice!

[JoshyNooney]

Best live performance I've heard in quite some time.

[cloud75732]

You can convert this to an mp3 at instantmp3s..com

[jeremythunder1]

why does their keyboardist wear a scarf indoors? that's so obnoxious.

[TheOriginalHeadshot]

@jeremythunder1 Die in fire Vampire Weekend FTW

[OptimusicPrime]

@jeremythunder1 He's gay. Now you're homophobic.

[hippiechic69]

@jeremythunder1 you know it is possible to be cold indoors...

[178m8r]

@SatansComment they r the best

[tomjoad1234]

Man, this is like one of the best songs i've heard for 10 years.

[kemerson93]

I miss Conan...

[liljessdomn]

[gorgeoutsiderx3]

Chris tomson really loves bangin on those drums. Its way cute -3

[xde0mega]

[konoha1993]

i remember seing this on the show. It made me start loving them <3

[rypeTmato12]

ezra is my husband and so is coco =]

[texaswhatitdo]

i got a fever, and the only prescription is more viola.

[foxyfonzie]

i would trip someone to sit by that stunning violinist in class...and I'm not like that.

[Carrots1919]

dem looks, dat voice, dat ass, dem moves. Vampire Weekend has it all!

[pogoboy5]

[soverignofno]

THE DRUMMER IS A BOPPIN' BADASS

[camppins]

[SagaSudaka]

 wow.. ..the girl with the violin is a real cutie.

sht.....nice song too

[paintbasstard]

I MISS YOU CONAN!!! :'(



[chopinlover2011]

i love the viola solo!!!vampire weekend:)

[irishlads4eva]

they were always good but ezra puts on a weird voice wen hes trying to sing when hes live

[markelrob]

B.O.B AND janelle monae's version is way better

[pinkpanda03]

@markelrob you're really stupid for saying that.

[texaswhatitdo]

is it just me or is the viola solo the hottest thing

[galacticninja7]

The Maroon 5 vocalist called, he said he wants his voice back.

[applefieldd]

@galacticninja7

pfff Ezra sounds nothing like this guy

[VTLY]

@galacticninja7

Idiotville called, they want you back as their mascot.

[jaishalattacks]

without a doubt one of the best bands on the planet atm

[ickyyyyyy]

Fuck yeah viola solo! Glad we're being represented somewhere. :)

[Zimakaku]

Fuck I love this song, it's so fucking beautiful, such a childlike melody and when the strings kick in and end the song.....FUCK THAT SHIT IS BEAUTIFUL!!

Love the major thirds melody in the violin or viola or whatever.....at least i think those are major thirds.

It ends so classical and modern :' )

[MDJJC]

This is a great song!!

Check out the mashup I made with the B.O.B version as well!

~Spreading love and good music!

[cwilliamsmus]

that violin solo was fucking impressive.

[bmpsound4]

@cwilliamsmus That isn't a violin, its a viola. But yeah, still amazing.

[NaveenHennington]

@bmpsound4 no that was a violin. the two in the back were on violas.

[bmpsound4]

@NaveenHennington Clearly you don't know your stringed instruments. You're talking to someone that was in chamber orchestra for 4 years through high school. The viola has a larger body than the violin, do your research before replying.

[cwilliamsmus]

@bmpsound4 well done for correcting my error. im very impressed, you must be a musical genius for spotting that mistake.

[indiiedreamer]

I love this sooong! <3

[SRJ88X]

vampire weekend are the biggest douchers :)

[wook1ee]

2:05

gotta love the drummer

[avschase]

the violinist moves like C3PO

[PS3Juggalo]

Try drumming. You need ticks (not tricks) to help keep the rhythm. It occupies the spaces in between notes for some people.

[supeultramegaunknown]

Can't believe this is what people expect me to respect; can't believe we can be expected to consider this good music

[ANIKANSKYWALKERG]

@supeultramegaunknown you just lack the intellegence to understand how creative this is.

[supeultramegaunknown]

@ANIKANSKYWALKERG I'm pretty sure it's the other way around, Mr. Intelligence... I wish you had the intelligence to see that this is not exactly "creative"

[ANIKANSKYWALKERG]

@supeultramegaunknown suprising you listen to pearl jam..lets see you write something like this

[OwnedRL]

@ANIKANSKYWALKERG if you want "technical" musical creativeness go listen to mahavishnu orchcestra on acid or something. this shit is sounds like a fucking nursery rhyme.

[ANIKANSKYWALKERG]

@OwnedRL while i do love mahavishnu orchestra and john mclaughlin..vampire weekend is extremely creative...especially when it comes to the drums or the bass..they both could have easily just followed the rhythm and the guitar but they were more creative and they have peices that completely change the song

[ANIKANSKYWALKERG]

@OwnedRL for example listen to the song cousins

[Cats4693]

he doesnt hav to sit like a zombie but dude he hes like a freaken pigeon lol

[Paneeks1960]

Just like heaven!

[9999ponyboy]

good performance. but I think I like Rostam's voice better

[AlexandKelsie]

The girl playing the violin looked like she was having fun :) I love watching people play violin. They're always so energetic and graceful-looking

[roflmmfaousoab]

@AlexandKelsie thats a viola. just thought id let you know :]

[cachacets]

I know it's kind of a cliché, to be promoting bands on YouTube, but this, you won't dare to miss the vibe on this one, an unknown, AWESOME Brazilian band trying to make a hit record.

It's darn good. --- /watch?v=0udJ14rtkBQ

[josephmoy7]

Gotta love Vampire Weekend!!

[ilovepesto19]

this song is the shizzit :)

[matic21]

I love this song, it reminds me of The Police!

[acousticgibson]

haha i love the drummer

[Chandlerkg11]

Solid musicianship

[DTdall88]

@Chandlerkg11 very agreed. these guys are just good musicians. they can incorporate a lot of awesome sounds and instruments!

[Chandlerkg11]

@DTdall88 I concur as well. Not too many bands I can say that sound fantastic live

[bsb312]

sounds like a police song. I like it.

[mysitespace]

ezra reminds me of a superhot young indie joaquin phoenix XD

[mysitespace]

ezra reminds me of a superhot young indie joaquin phoenix XD

[EzraK100]

Ezra's voice has gotten lower hasn't it? I've kinda noticed that when he performs live now ..

[gorgeoutsiderx3]

i love chris on the drums! ah hes so fluid and bubbly. hes so adorable! i love it. it makes playing the drums look like the most fun in the band;)

[XXILoveAMrotek7XX]

@gorgeoutsiderx3 ikr, i love how energetic he is!

And Baio has some pretty sweet moves too.

[korvochsenap]

Man, I love Vampire Weekend (no homo)

[Convoicev2]

I love that bass.

Such a hesitant yet hopeful way

[danielodyssey]

Their sound reminds me of the Polyphonic Spree, but not in this song. Can anyone explain why they always mention Peter gabriel in their songs?

[gohan9220]

@danielodyssey he was a character in a movie the singer made that their band is named after

[JokerTheSLaughter]

Man this was the 1st time I ever heard of Vampire Weekend and I loved it THANK YOU COCO! ;D

@JokerTheSLaughter You'll never ever go back man. Yo
