So, tonight is the Vampire Weekend show at the Gypsy Hut. The show is sold out and the Gypsy Hut (from what I hear) is a pretty small venue. I like the CD - there's a lot of hype surrounding this band and that tends to add some expectations to the music, but the group lives up to it pretty well. However, I am a little concerned about the combo of buzz band/small venue/wintry mix, so I guess we'll see how that goes. I've been a little lazy about seeing live music lately, so hopefully this will kick me back into the habit...Btw, that means the Project Runway recap that would usually run in this spot will be a little postponed this week. Don't worry though, it'll be here soon. Something to think about in the meantime - are there going to be 4 finalists again this year? The description to this week's episode seems to indicate the end has arrived...

hey, how did you like Vampire Weekend? I was thinking about buying thier cd. They are playing in the Chi on April 6th...
Excellent show and a decent band, considering these guys are just starting out. Sometimes, it's really hard to separate the music from the hype, but their music is so disarming you can't help but like them anyway.
Recommended if you like "Graceland" era Paul Simon, or also, as Kari remarked at the show, "Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard"...
