Hope you liked this video! I love Vampire Weekend and I've been wanting to make a video about them forever. Ezra, Rostam and the rest of the guys are the best. Their self-titled album, Contra, and Modern Vampires of the City are some of my favorite albums ever. Super excited for Father of the Bride!
Vampire Weekend was one of the bands that started my whole indie music journey when I was in elementary school
Same!
Me too
Me too , i think my passion for music start 10 years ago when i discovered Vampire Weekend. Best band ever
High school for me lol but same
Right! It’s like I grew up with them
Fun fact: they all had to take part in Colombia’s traditional swimming test and pass in order to graduate
Colombia? Was the swimming test in the Amazon river?
J. A. Antón lol
Sunflower is my current obsession, that songs so fucking good and addictive
You made a mistake with L'Homme Run. It wasn't Ezra and Chris, it was Ezra and Andrew Kalaidjian. Andrew is now a professor at a California college.
Thank you I was about to comment this.
He is now a professor?? Wow this is new. Thanks for the info!
Chris did help out with L'homme Run but it was definitely mainly andrew and ezra
This band raised me...
That's why I'm here
omfg same. mansard roof was my 6 year old anthem.
Me to because of a-punk and Diane young
Listened to the first one as a 5 year old, the second & third as an elementary schooler, and now I'm almost 16 and I am obsessed with Father of the Bride
Saaame, grew up listening to them since I was 1 or 2
It was the first band, along with two door cinema club, that I have listened to with my wife at the beginning of our relationship :) thank you for the video!!! I am feeling 10 years younger now :D
FSWayn3 that’s awesome!
That's actually awesome, cute even.
"Contra" is one of the best albums of the decade, Horchata is an anthem
Glad someone finally has respect for that album. It's a masterpiece and I love every single song on it
California English is 🔥🔥
Diplomat’s Son is great!
my favorite album by far, diplomat's son is a masterpiece in my opinion
@@ruuna3887 That, and Horchata, and White Sky. Forgot how many I consider masterpieces when I started writing this comment. Hell even Run and Taxi Cab.
how does one have such a variety of a channel and still upload as much as you do, insane work man good job
hey tony where'd you get that fresh pepperoni
Your sausage tastes like
*S T A L E B A L O N E Y*
It feels like a parody of a parody band
I loove them, sincerely I've never heard something like contra
When I saw them live baio was absolutely electric. You could see how he felt the music
My favourite band of all time.
All my siblings and my cousins, most who are about 10 years older than me are all super into vampire weekend. Obviously since all of them are I am too. We’ve all been listening for a long time now. Needless to say “Cousins” is all of our favorite song.
Aww i used to sing cousins with one of my cousins i grew up with this band thanks to my moms amazing taste
It’s a line that’s always running
i sometimes cannot beleive how good vampire weekend are. have loved them since contra. can't wait for father of the bride
They're kind of the only reason I seriously got into music and started caring about the technique. They're kind of incredible.
If I tried to describe their music, it would be a mix of rock and weirdness. It’s so fun seeing a band take a common thing like alt rock and add quirky tidbits to make it unique. That’s how you can tell them apart from the rest of their genre: the weirdness. It’s impressive how far they’ve come in the years they’ve been active. Father of the Bride is organic and feels like a story being told with lessons being learned with every song.
Also ezra’s probably the most gorgeous human being i’ve ever seen
did i know everything you mentioned in this video before watching? yes. did i still enjoy watching it? HELL YES. these dudes stole my heart in late middle/early high school and i can't wait to finally get to see them in concert later this year :)
This band is the reason why I decided to become a musician
I've been waiting on a vampire weekend video forever sir thank u for this blessing
These “Introduction to” videos are great, Death Grips was my first video of yours that I watched and I can’t wait to see more!
This was very informative! It came up as a recommended and I’m so glad it did! I’ve listened to VW before but never really looked into who they are, thanks!
I knew all of this and yet is just so satisfying and cozy to see these beautiful graphics and well written voice over about my favorite band. Thank you ❤️
I have all 3 vinyls, time for the 4th
Its about time you make a vampire weekend video, been waiting since I subscribed!
So happy to see an Alfo Media video about my favorite band. Legends stan legends.
This! This is the format you've been looking for. Great Video 👍
I love this video! They are my favorite band. Their music speaks to my soul.
There was a heavy ska influence on the first album as well. One needs look no further than the crazy-irregular rhythm of Oxford Comma.
I love these mini documentaries you do!
I started listening to them last summer after pushing them off because of thinking they be too "boring" though after a podcast recommending Modern Vampires of the City I fell in looove with it. So beautiful and the lyrics are so amazing too. Then I back tracked and I still can't believe that their debut album in 2008. I really slept on them though they really have so much to offer and I can't wait for Father of The Bride!
This is a very cool video man, well done!
Great editing and you broke it down in a clear and coherent way 👍
FOTB was fantastic, definitely lived up to the hype.
Great video thanks! I am an old punk rock lady who just loves these guys, their music makes me happy. They are coming to my neck of the woods this year, can't wait!
I'm obsessed with everything about this video
I GREW UP LISTENING TO VAMPIRE WEEKEND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
as FULL vampire weekend devotee and absolute fangirl I still learned new things about them wow love ur videos!!
I love ur music taste alfo
i love vampire weekends music but i could never find any actual good info about them. this is so helpful and interesting. thanks!
I remember finding there self titled album at the public library and Ive been hooked since. Fantastic band.
I'm enjoying this immensely
I am just getting into Vampire weekend so the timing is perfect! My favorite song of them is Harmony Hall
Your videos are awesome brother
I've been into vampire weekend for a few years, but last few weeks have been revisiting, and gets me excited for fotb. Also having recently rewatched Ezra Koenigs show neo yekio, which if you haven't seen, please do.
wtf isnt that the one with jaden smith and the big toblerone
its your bois vamp weekend
I started getting into them in early high school (6 years ago??) because I found one of their band t-shirts and liked it, and gave them a shot and boy was I glad!
this made me love vampire weekend even more than i already did
i’m gonna listen to all their albums!
OMFG I CANT BELIEVE I FUCKING LOVE VAMPIRE WEEKEND U RLLY DID A FULL VIDEO ABOUT THEM WOW
brilliant mate. thank you :)
I've been a fan since I was like 9 I'm nearly 18 and just learning about these guys😂
such a good video!
Middle school me is in love with you rn
One of my favourite bands!
YES THE VIDEO IS FINALLY HERE!!!!!
never heard of them but, I like what they are doing
i appreciate their music so much
actually wasn't sure why i love them SO much and im still not totally sure but maybe this explained some of it
One of the best bands ever.
When the clip of A-Punk started I started sipping my water along with the tempo
I watched a 3 minute ad for you
you couldn't skip a 3 minute ad?!?
I’m pretty sure that doesn’t do anything. I think you have to go to whatever their advertising for ad revenue idk tho
I've been a fan since I heard Diane Young in 2013 :D
Yes!! Finally!!
I can't wait for my OGWAU vinyl to be delivered in two days!
yessssssss I love vampire weekend
Cousins was my first favourite by them, then I heard Harmony Hall and it was one of my highest played songs for the past few years. Now I'm getting more into them. Hannah Hunt, Giving up the Gun, A-Punk, they're classic indie/alt now
VAMPIRE WEEKEND IS THE GOAT
i had a dream with them in it once. we were at some college and i was looking for the library. they were very nice in my dream
I absolutely love modern vampires of the city, I think it's their best album. The other two are great too
Yes I pretty much grew up to this band
I’ve been to Ezra’s childhood home when I was in high school.
This intro is so relatable
Pizza Prty is a banger
I was kind of in an Indie Rock phase during my middle school years and either got tired of the genre or grew out of it. But vampire weekend is the one band I can consistantly listen to.
unbelievers sis one of my favorites
I first found vamprie weekend a few years back when watch_dogs came out. Meaning watch_dogs had an in game radio and that played Diane young taking my vague intrest in music and actually making me want to search out new indie bands
oh damn i should totally listen to them. im like them. i dont really know but i think im like them
They styled themselves rather preppy ironically.
good video ❤️
I love vampire weekend
Telling Alfo to listen to skegss, until he tells me what he thinks of them: Video 1
oxford comma such a banger
I never fucked with indy or pop and only had heard and seen ezra on Major Lazer "Vampire Weekend" episode and the song Jessica like maybe 10 years ago, never thought to look them up. Then randomly looked them up the other day and heard them for the first time and here I am and 32 years old and was instantly hooked, literally have been listening to them non stop for the last week or two since I checked them out. They sold me with that line:
"why would you lie 'bout anything at all?
first the window, then its to the wall
Lil John he always tells the truth" 😎👌
They are coming in aug and i want to see them so bad. But i just dont have the money and it breaks my heart. When ever i need a pick-me-up i listen to "horchata". I love the new song too. They are so good and i feel somewhat underrated.
Vampire weekend are a blessing to music
I grew up with them
Taxi Cab is their BEST song! Love it! Love it! Love it!!!!!!!!!!
They haven’t put out a bad record. Their sound is constantly evolving, but not according to popular trends. Vampire Weekend is indie’s Kendrick Lamar
I was just introduced to this band in the last year or two. I really pick up a Paul Simon vibe, and I do see that they have covered Paul Simon before. Do any of the band members attribute any influence to Paul Simon? Any, I really like this band and thanks for the video!
Ezra is my favourite human
Oh hell yeah buddy
“Sunflower” live freaking slaps
fave
I used to check the vampire weekend albums out at the library after school and burn them to my iphone lol
Favorite band easy
Intro to Vampire Weekend is a 3 credit course, but I've already reached my credit limit :(
...seriously considering changing my major to take this course.
I would like to thank mix radio(windows phone)(now dead) for a great algorithm for finding songs before they blew up.
Diane Young doesn't use pitch shifting, it uses a moving frequency cut to adjust the tone quality.
Can u do a video on american pleasure club?
California English is lowkey the best Vampire Weekend song
Pt 2 is also phenomenal, one of my favourites of their catalogue
That's a weird way of spelling Hannah Hunt
i have a thing for ya hey . M79 and california english.
@@TheDankCrew I swear part 2 is garbage. The only work of VW that I don't swear by.
@@froggobaggins3328 m79 relates to culture perfectly , I'm Iranian btw just like rostam 😀
Do a video about this band called SPINN. They're really good
only reason i wanted to go to columbia
😂😂😂
