Vampire Weekend play ice rink tonight
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 14 January 2010
Vampire Weekend, who released their second album, ‘Contra’, on Monday, will play a free gig in the courtyard of Somerset House in London tonight.
Many of you will know that an ice rink currently occupies much of that space, but, sadly, the band will not be donning skates and performing on the ice, rather they’ll be playing just in front of it. The first 50 fans through the door will be set loose on the ice, though. If that sounds of interest, get yourself to Somerset House at 5.30pm, or thereabouts.
Oh, by the way, upon further listening, it transpires that ‘Contra’ may not actually be as bad as we originally suggested last week. Actually, some of it’s pretty good. Though I should add that there are at least two tracks on it which make me want to punch myself in the face.
