vampire weekend is sold out!

[Vas Deferens]

wow, will we see them at DC9 in a couple years?

[mr. pretentious]

Totally not surprised at this.  But how long can they actually play?  When I saw them in January at the RnR Hotel, they played every song off their debut, then one b-side and a new one.  Can they really get away with 45 minutes of material at the 9:30 Club?

Another band whose appeal completely baffles me.
 
 
 Ahh well.

[Vas Deferens]

i'm sure you secretly bought tickets this morning     jk

Although they don't appeal to me, their appeal to many others doesn't baffle me in the slightest.

They sucked at the RnR hotel show.

Wow, two hours and they sell out?  I was gonna get a ticket... Guess not now.

FUCKING SHIT!
 
 I didnt even get the email this morning with the soft sales.
 
 Ack!!!!!!!

[azaghal1981]

That's because soft sale emails come on wednesday night.

I should've made myself clearer earlier; it's not the fact that people like them that baffles me; it's more the ridiculous critical acclaim.
 
 
 They sound like just another dime-a-dozen indie-pop band to me.

All the exposure on 90210 and at NFL stadiums has really paid off!

me three.  they play decent, pleasant pop; not genre-revolutionizing, future-defining masterwork critics seem to laud them for.  
 
 i gave their album 3 spins and decided it wasn't worth the hard disk space.

Really?  I thought they played well, and the venue suited them alright.  But that's just me.  :p

and whats worse is their success will spawn another dime-a-dozen imitators trying to "blend" world beats, etc into their sound.

Either way I didnt get the email. Those shits are crazy inconsistent. It took them awhile to grow on me, I was obsessed, I heard they sucked live, but Id still go see them.

Again, I think this is just another sign of what a dismal year it's been for music...
 
 They're fine.  Fun indie pop...nothing innovative.  I doubt they'll play very long.  Ting Tings did a 45 minute set, and it was fine.  It'll be good to have a short show on a monday night.
