I went to see Vampire Weekend play at the Forum in Kentish Town on Saturday night. Contrary to their name, they are not a goth or an emo band! They are actually a very earnest New York band who (I think) sound like The Strokes playing Graceland (as in the Paul Simon album, not Elvis's house).
The concert was short and very sweet. They only have one album and they played all of that, plus a couple of new songs and a couple of covers (including 'Everywhere' by Fleetwood Mac). Their songs are only about 3 minutes long usually. Great reaction and involvement from the audience, and also some brilliant dancing from the bassist!
PS I didn't take this photo - I stole it from a fellow attendee on Flickr!
