It's a little known fact that the collar-popping, Afro-beat bopping guys in Vampire Weekend, who play a sold-out show at the First Unitarian Church tonight, released their first 7 inch single - "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" b/w "A-Punk" - on Philadelphia's Free News Projects label. Sorry, those are sold out, too. I talked to VW's Ezra Koenig the other day, and that interview is in today's Inquirer. Join them for a ride on their sailboat, as if they were P. Diddy, below. And the more than curious can check out Koenig's pre-VW rap group, L'Homme Run, here.
