vampire music bands
The New York indie scene is alive and well, laying down a vibe that is causing a stir everywhere[phpbay] Bands such as The Virgins, MGMT and Vampire Weekend among others, have been living up to the attention that they received last year[phpbay] These Cool New Bands, were tipped by all the majors of the printed press and created massive outpourings on the internet and blogosphere[phpbay] Spin, Rolling Stone and NME all saw the potential in these young bands[phpbay]
Now almost a year later the bands have released their début albums and have been going from strength to strength[phpbay] This new wave of American talent has been lapping at our shores[phpbay] The Virgins have been to Europe several times, notably playing Paris Fashion Week a while back and recently returning to the city of love[phpbay] MGMT, (formally The Management) and Vampire Weekend have both been hitting the European festival circuit including here in the UK and in Iceland[phpbay]
New York has always been a beacon in the musical world, nurturing talent that has gone on to storm the world[phpbay] This latest iteration of New York cool is being led by bands such as The Virgins, MGMT and Vampire Weekend[phpbay] They reflect the diversity within the US, with Vampire Weekend clearly being influenced by West and Central African music as well as Western Classical music[phpbay] The Virgins on the other hand play straight indie rock and have been selling out shows in NY, and recently in Europe, at most of their gigs[phpbay] Representing a certain slice of New York cool, it doesn't hurt to have two former models in the band and a host of A-list celebrity friends with which to party with[phpbay] Friends with designers Agnes B and Henry Holland, and British model Agyness Deyn, the group are one of the coolest groups to emerge from the Big Apple in recent years[phpbay]
MGMT have taken a slightly different path to fame[phpbay] Their recent release of their début album, Oracular Spectacular, has been acclaimed by the press since it hit the shelves[phpbay] Taking their brand of psychedelic electronic pop, the band have managed to create a sound that is both different yet also reassuring familiar[phpbay] The album features the title track from their earlier released EP, Time to Pretend[phpbay] The band are also open in their praise for their producer, David Friedman, of the Flaming Lips, who worked on the new album[phpbay]
"(David) ended up running the tracks through this thing that crushed them and made them sound really gross again[phpbay] They're a lot better now[phpbay]" They said to Rolling Stone[phpbay]
These cool bands from New York are living up the expectations as trend setters and we can only look forward to their next releases[phpbay] If you can't wait until then, then catch all three on tour in Europe now!
