Vampire Weekend have become hugely popular in the UK in the last two years. Their eponymous debut album was a plethora of genres – pop, indie rock and African rhythms were all thrown in with great aplomb, and the resulting hits M79, Oxford Comma, A-Punk and Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa were all excellent examples of their innovative charm.

Their second album Contra was released in January 2010 and built on their success – hitting the top spot on the US Billboard Top 200 – and the quirky act have announced UK tour dates for November and December 2010 in support of the LP.
