Vampire Weekend @ Triple Rock

The indie band from New York, Vampire Weekend, will be performing at Triple Rock tonight. Doors are at 9pm. The show is sold out, but if you know your way around craigslist or aren't afraid to perform fellatio on a stranger, you might be able to score a ticket. I strongly suggest checking them out now, before they fall victim to The Napoleon Dynamite Effect and start getting play time in soccer mom SUVs and Frat Houses nationwide.

Scott Baio's nephew plays bass, so you know they're really good.

Update: I would give the show a 7 out of 10. A 45-minute single set with no encore didn't impress me by any means, but the songs sounded great live, and the opening act, YACHT, was a pleasant surprise. I never thought one guy singing over pre-recorded electronic beats would be so entertaining. I strongly recommend his latest album, I Believe In You, Your Magic Is Real. You're welcome.
