WEEK END IS COMING

So I thought it would be a good idea to introduce to you VAMPIRE WEEKEND, if you don't know them yet.

VAMPIRE WEEKEND is a New Yorker band formed in 2006, they're doing a sort of soft Indie Punk Rock mixed up with Africans sounds, the result is pretty fresh and perfect to chill by the beach (can't wait for this summer). Their first opus came out in 2008 and they just released a new one, called Contra, few weeks ago.

Here is one of the song I like on their first album, It's called Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa, and I wasn't surprised to discover that THE VERY BEST remixed it.



Enjoy!
