The Simpsons Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'm surprised there wasn't already a topic on Vampire Weekend yet. But yeah, does anyone else listen to this band besides me and Katniss? I think they're a really great band. Their self-titled album and Contra are two of my favorites. I hope they release more albums in the future. My favorite songs by them? Oxford Comma, Giving Up the Gun, obviously A-Punk, Kids Don't Stand a Chance, Run, and Unbelievers, just to name a few.

Cha Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Yes I love them and their really unique sound. My favorite songs from them are Unbelievers, Diplomat's Son and Campus. Also Katniss and I like many of the same bands, so you can assume that whatever she listens to I most likely do too.

Sauce Mama Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) My favorites are A-Punk, Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa, and Mansard Roof. Saw them live once. Great band! Edited December 4, 2015 by Sauce Mama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katniss Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Vampire Weekend is awesome! One of my favorite bands. Some of my favorite songs are Holiday, Mansard Roof, Diane Young, Walcott, and Run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illiniguy34 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Note to self: listen to one of their songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clappy Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Saw them live at Warped Tour back in (I want to say 2012?) and have a few of their songs on my iPod. Can't say I've listened to any of their newer stuff but their older stuff is pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Dalmatian Street Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Love this band. Favorite tracks for me are Giving Up the Gun, A-Punk, Run, and I Think Ur a Contra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guy With the Computer Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 They have some awesome songs. I should listen to them more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBManiac Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Contra has to be one of my favorite indie pop albums of recent times, so yeah, I'd say I like these guys, too. Still have to dig into their third album, though. Wonder if anything new is on the horizon with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, I thought "Vampire Weekend" was gonna be about some sort of event surrounding vampires when I first saw this thread pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweat Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Eh, I listened to their self-titled record and didn't really like it at all. Maybe I should relisten but I'm not very impressed from what I've heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgerpants Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 When I heard Contra for the first time, I was in love with it... but the second time was enough. Started to get on my patience. That said, A-Punk still is a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elastic Dawg Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Never liked 'em. They were the annoyingly popular-yet-mediocre commercial indie act before Arctic Monkeys blew up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how I feel about Modern Vampires of the City though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
