Contra, the long awaited follow up to Vampire Weekend’s eponymously titled debut album, drops tomorrow. I’ve had it for a little while and it doesn’t disappoint. Toe-tappingly good, all 30 + minutes of it. Pick up a copy here. Below are their New York tour dates beginning this Sunday. Start hitting the refresh button on Craig’s List, kiddies, as they are all sold out! Enjoy the vid for “Cousins” below.
01-17 New York, NY – United Palace Theater with Titus Andronicus
01-18 New York, NY – Webster Hall with Holly Miranda
01-19 New York, NY – Bowery Ballroom with Nat Baldwin
Is it me, or is this chick on Contra just super hot…in that preppy way?
