Vampire Weekend

the first time i ever heard Vampire Weekend was a summer day on itunes. they had a free download which i thought was pretty good. But then a few months down the road i decided to listen to their other songs, and i loved them.

with insane drum beats, wierd techno additions and an amazing vocalist i knew they were my favorite band. within the next few months they blew up, had a bunch of songs on Tv and in movies.

then one day my brother walked into my room with one of their albums and told me to listen to it. I told him i already knew who they were. he said "did you know their coming to red rocks?" and that was probablly the best show ive ever been to

but if your one to like pop-rock kind of music you need to check them out.

their most popular song is A-punk

and my favorite song is " the kids dont stand a chance" - its one of their slower songs, but it has a smooth and flowly guitar riff you just have to hear

MGMT

a pyschodelic/indie rock band
Ever since they signed with Columbia Records in 2006 they have been nothing but rising fame.


unfortunatly i didnt hear them till 2010, when my brother blasted one of records in our house.I ran into the living whom, yelling "WHO IS THIS?". That day i fell in love with keyboards and weird pyschodelic sounds within music. i kept on questioning my brother who they were, where there from, how long they've been together and everything like that. After a five minute interrorgation at my brother, he asked me "want to go see them with me"? and within two weeks i found myself at Red Rocks.


this concert made that summer one of the best i will ever have. it was pouring rain, my group and i were freezing and soaking wet, but the only thing that kept us there was their AMAZING music and light show.
it so hard to describe the night but it was one of the most incredible of my life. maybe this video can shed some light.
