Vampire Weekend

Vampire Weekend is an American indie rock band from New York City, formed in 2006 and currently signed to Columbia Records. The band was formed by lead vocalist and guitarist Ezra Koenig, multi-instrumentalist Rostam Batmanglij, drummer Chris Tomson, and bassist Chris Baio. (Batmanglij departed the group in early 2016.) The band's first album *Vampire Weekend* (2008)—which included the singles "Mansard Roof", "A-Punk", "Oxford Comma", "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa", and "The Kids Don't Stand a Chance"—was acclaimed by critics for its world music influences.

Their following album, *Contra* (2010), was similarly acclaimed and garnered strong commercial success. Their third studio album, *Modern Vampires of the City* (2013), marked their first collaboration with super-producer Ariel Rechtshaid and won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 2014. The band's fourth album, *Father of the Bride* (2019), their first without Batmanglij as a member, featured the Grammy Best Song nominee "Harmony Hall," was nominated for Album of the Year, and won Best Alternative Music Album (their second win in the category).[1] The group was said to be nearing completion on a "raga-influenced," yet-unnamed fifth LP in summer 2023.

As Ezra is the main host of *Time Crisis* and the frontman of Vampire Weekend, naturally the band is a common subject on the show.

Ezra is an avid fan of the font, posting many examples sent in by fans to his Instagram story. A t-shirt giveaway in November 2018 featured a black long sleeve shirt which said "8 Minute Cape Cod" in Futura font (a font used frequently by Vampire Weekend) on the front, and "This Show Rules" in Jokerman font on the back.

## Song

"Jokerman" is a song by Bob Dylan released on his 1983 album *Infidels*. Vampire Weekend have been rehearsing a cover of the song to play live, and have a version which reaches 11 minutes in length.

In My Neighborhood

A running joke originating in Episode 20. The premise began when Ezra and Jake  were going through the Top Five of 1968. Upon hearing the Ohio Express' "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy", they noted the song was similar to those used in Martin Scorcese films, often in violent scenes which contrast with the song's upbeat and innocent nature. They created dialogue which a character might say in such a scene: “June, 1968 - America was on fire. But in my neighborhood? Business was booming!”
