VAMPIRE WEEKEND COMPARES POP BAND TO BEATLES

At least Oasis comparing themselves to the Beatles was funny, but Ezra Koenig frontman for Vampire Weekend was not funny and frankly sounded retarded. The signer said that he is a fan of Dappy and N-Dubz, and compared the pop band to The Beatles. Whaaaa1!@#%@^

Koenig told Esquire that he had been struck by one of the trio's videos and thought that they reminded him of the early days of The Beatles or The Monkees. He did, however, admit that he needed to look into their music more to fully grasp what they did. "I saw N-Dubz on TV last night," he said. "They struck me as very self-aware and funny, at least the main guy. They really held their own. They got it. I didn't know what to make of the song they played, but when they were messing around.. It was almost like some Monkees or early Beatles kind of vibe." He added: "I should probably research them more." Hmmm, YES you should you dingbat! 

Vampire Weekend's forthcoming third album, 'Modern Vampires Of The City', will be released next month after being put back a week due to "unanticipated delays". The album was due to be released on May 7 but will now be with fans on May 14.
