Not sure if there’s a buzzier buzzband around right now.read more at austin360.com

Vampire Weekend hasn’t even released an album yet (its debut is due in January), but the band has already been called a next big thing by Spin, innumerable papers, and nearly every blog of note thanks to a self-released EP and a handful of live shows, including a packed stand at CMJ. Before you clap your hands and say backlash, consider the bubbly, nerdy gem “Oxford Comma,” sure to inspire a whole of lot of self-conscious dancing: Over a bouncy Afrobeat straight out of Paul Simon’s Graceland, the group—preppy schoolboys who cite Ladysmith Black Mambazo as an influence—sings with wry, earnest bookishness about “diction dripping with disdain.” Like the best indie pop (Voxtrot fans take note), it’s loopy, literate, and addictive. Opening: Brazos, Buffalo Breath.
