Vampire Weekend is a band made up of members Ezra Koenig, Rostam Batmanglij, Chris Tomson, and Chris Baio.
Ezra Koenig and other members of the band have said they like vacationing on Cape Cod. The sound about Boston/Cambridge was inspired by the girls at Radcliffe College, Harvard's girls' school.
YES!
Their musical style is very unique (Afro-Pop/Indie Rock) and their lyrics are interesting and intelligent. Their music is complicated in a very simple way, and for the sub-culture of thinking teenagers, that's awesome.
I also saw them in concert in Kansas City, and they are suprisingly great performers, one of the greatest shows I've ever attended. I hope they win the Grammy for Cousins!! And can't wait for the next album! : D
The cover girl is Kristen Kennis (a former model) who is currently trying to sue the band for $2 million dollars.
They are not touring right now, but from their most recent tour in 2010 Beach House and Dum Dum Girls supported Vampire Weekend.
Yes, their song Holiday is used in it, along with the new Honda ad.

Believe in the power of truth... Do not allow your mind to be imprisoned by majority thinking. Remember that the limits of science are not the limits of imagination. -Dr. Patricia E. Bath

"Cousins" Lyrics
You found a sweater on the ocean floor.
They're gonna find it if you didn't close the door.
You and the smart ones sit outside on the side
In a house on a street they wouldn't park on at night.
Dad was a risk taker.
His was a shoe maker.
You, greatest hits 2006, little-list maker.
Heard codes in the melody.
You heeded the call.
You were born with ten fingers and you're gonna use them all.
Interesting colors.
I discovered myself.
If your art life is gritty, you'll be toasting my health.
If your interest in culture should be lining the walls
When your birthright's in interest, you could just accrue it all.
Me and my cousins,
And you and your cousins
It's a line that's always running.
Me and my cousins,
And you and your cousins,
I can feel it coming.
You can turn your back on the bitter world. (x4)
Me and my cousins,
And you and your cousins
It's a line that's always running.
Me and my cousins,
And you and your cousins,
I can feel it coming.
