Purely spectacular and painfully beautiful are the music and lyrics that are delivered by Baltimore’s own Beach House. Last Monday night, Beach House took the audience on a musical journey through time and space at the Hard Rock Live in Orlando, Fla. With a simple and sophisticated set made up of three light reflecting pyramids [...]

Seems like Vampire Weekend‘s rise to mainstream popularity has brought with it not only MTV coverage and a stuffy bank account, but also the afferent law suits that go with them.

So the indie hipster four-piece (hey, c’mon, even the fans have to admit it’s an apt description) had the number one album this week by moving 124,000 units.

Everyone’s favorite afro-pop indie band (ahem, this generation’s Talking Heads) has debuted their new single on their official website. You can stream it or you can download it just by supplying an email address. The song isn’t any real departure from their eponymous debut, and, in fact, would fit rather well towards the end of [...]

NYC’s new indie hope, Vampire Weekend, paid newly appointed Late Night anchorman Jimmy Fallon a visit last night, when the band played a brand new song called “White Song.” Although the band’s orchestra adopts a somewhat weird dressing code, the string section of the song makes it quite special, especially when put next to Ezra [...]

I just stumbled upon a really, really sweet remix of Vampire Weekend‘s “The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance,” by one of my favorite DJ duo, Chromeo. I just really love how the two managed to transform the track into a up-beat, ’80s-like disco anthem. Something to light up your day. [display_podcast]
