They played “White Sky”, “Cousins” and “Run” here in Gothenburg :) I got two live versions of Run. I want Little Giants to be on their new album :( maybe it will be on some Special Edition or B-side..

And being overhyped is their fault how?

i don’t recall saying that’s their fault. i don’t dislike them on a personal level, they’re probably great human beings. I just don’t find their music enjoyable, yet the majority of people seem to think they’re the shit, and is it because of the hype, or the music?

well kyle, i dont know why anyone would like a band if they didnt like the music. i am not a huge Vampire weekend fan, but they aren’t horrible, it just kinda seems like your trying to be like “YA fuck the system” but your coming off as “YA i liek diks in myy asshole?!”

No Kyle, it’s not the hype. It is the fact that their music is amazing & unique.
Not real sure how anyone cannot love them. Everything about vampire weekend is beyond awesome. But yano you are allowed to have an opinion, even if it’s a really bad one.
