Vampire Weekend launches tour

| | Comments (0)

Stamped with the 4 To Watch seal of approval and an ultra-favorable review of its debut album in the February issue of Paste, Vampire Weekend will soon celebrate its Paste-love with a series of tour dates.

Of course, we can't take all the credit, because, as we’ve noted, the band has quite a few admirers. But questions of causality aside, the tour is a happy event.

The event is made happier by four southern dates, when Vampire Weekend will share its bill with The Walkmen. The bands’ joint appearance will also be a happy event for Columbia University, the alma mater of 100% of Vampire Weekend and some members of The Walkmen. After 2007, Columbia needs the good publicity.
