Vampire Weekend received much buzz from local blogs throughout 2007 during their rise to a record deal. Rolling Stone placed Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa at number 57 for the top 100 songs of 2007. They also garnered much local buzz in the summer of 2007 with their song Oxford Comma, which gripes about prep grammar, Lil’ Jon, and coal drama.
Their second album “Contra” was released on January 12, 2010. It contains the single “Cousins”
They are self-proclaimed “specialists in the following styles: ‘Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa’, ‘Upper West Side Soweto’, ‘Campus’, and ‘Oxford Comma Riddim.’”
The name Vampire Weekend comes from a movie that Ezra Koenig made in the summer of his freshman year at college. You can watch the trailer on Youtube, here.

'Cousins' and 'Giving Up The Gun' aside, Contra just feels like inferior b-sides of their S/T

I've given Contra a few listens and I really don't like it as much as I love their self titled.

"California English" is the single greatest use of auto-tune of all time. Sorry, Gregory Brothers.
