On Vampire Weekend

It is Friday and it only felt right to start the weekend with a jaw about these kids from New York City who have been making alot of noise online lately. Vampire Weekend can't help but to remind me of Montreal's very own Islands in their own mellow-dramatic indie rock kind of way.

They're massive North American Tour is glaringly barren of a Montreal Tour date, with love for Toronto and Vancouver. What the fuck? Anyway here are some tunes, find out what your missing and have a Vampire filled Weekend kids.
