I always thought that Vampore Weekend were name checking the British counterpart to their ivy league alma mater with this tune. Then I thought...you know, they have some preppy style, so maybe this ditty is about their favorite type of lace-ups.

It's been a bad two weeks for Vampire Weekend. The preppy indie rock band's UK tour has been cursed.

Batmanglij also missed last night's Shockwaves NME Awards in London. The Awards show, however, spelled disaster for another Vampire Weekend member, drum...

The world of pop is a much-derided genre. It’s seen as frivolous, fey and, indeed, gay. Of course, if anybod

Track themes:Vampire Weekend – Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa Don’t let that sing-a-long chorus or those playful afrobeats fool you. Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa is a song of seduction. A mating call as sincere and heartfelt as that of a Serengeti wildebeest who has returned from work of a Friday evening to find not one single message on his answer machine. Yes, Vampire Weekend are a bunch of stick-thin r
