We are very pleased to present the latest addition of our Live at Other Music series, featuring a current hometown favorite who seem poised to take over the world, Vampire Weekend. There has been so much talk and hype about this band over the last six months, it’s been dizzying for a fan and I can only imagine what it’s been like for the group! When we first took notice of these guys last year they were playing small gigs around town for their Columbia friends as they finished school and finished their home-recorded demos (which now make up the bulk of their debut album on XL). Their self-released EP, launched exclusively here on othermusic.com last June, quickly became our best-selling release ever on the site, and the band was noticed by tastemakers the world over, from the smallest blogs to the New York Times. With their debut album finally dropping on Tuesday, you can see these guys everywhere, from MTV (we saw the “A-Punk” video sandwiched between 50 Cent and Jessica Simpson… really!), to major magazine covers and major concert stages around the world. This in-store was shot last October during CMJ, one of our very first video productions, and caught the band just as their star was on the rise.

Enjoy the film, and when you buy their great self-titled album from our Digital site (available this Tuesday, January 29th) you will get an EXCLUSIVE FREE BONUS TRACK from the in-store, a great version of “Bryn,” recorded Live at Other Music.
