Vampire Weekend

[Basher]

dont bother love they arent up to much. we tend to like most of the same things!

Futureheads were good but i think i have possibly seen them too much, i make sure to go to at least one gig on every tour...

their new stuff is alright as well but really nothing hugely special.

the best part of the set is (still) man ray followed by piece of crap, basically 4/5 year old songs

[Basher]

but yes grammatics are mentally ace, like the best leeds band ive seen in a long time - basically from being unsigned nobodys to getting somewhere.

them and wild beasts leading the pack.

[Lizbeth]

Vampire Weekend sound like a bit like The Walkmen to me, and nowt that special.

goin seeing them manchester academy 2 on 27th feb. They sound proper good id say. Not got the album but illegal downloads of the tracks sound alright. Few beers and i'll dance to owt anyway. should be good. Anyone else plan to see them when come over later this month

[doubleshiny]

I'm going to Manchester too, should be good.

BTW on my CD the tracks repeat over and over, ie you have to skip to the next track or it just carries on playing whatever track you're on, is anyone else having that problem? Tried it on different CD players and the same thing.

[baxterboy]

Going to see them in wolverhampton on the 22nd.

[joeyb31]

I really wanna go to the cockpit gig 2-have u managed to get tickets yet? Can't seem to find them anywhere, aren't they on sale yet?

[hanabizzle]

They go on sale on Friday, according to Seetickets.

[joeyb31]

cool thanks. I'll have to pay the thieving bastards their handling fee then! Cockpit is a great venue, should be good.

[Bradders]

The crowds always been a bit shit when I've been to the Cockpit. I'll still go though...

Vampire Weekend sound like a bit like The Walkmen to me, and nowt that special.

nothing like them.

Vampire Weekend cross too many genres to be compared to any of the middle of the road indie bands (not including the walkmen btw).
