The Long Blondes Makes Us Shake Our Groove Thing And Here Are The Pictures That Prove It

May 19th, 2008 by Adam F

Look, if a band can get 70% of our marketing department and 100% of our film / tv licensing department to shake our groove things, then they are definitely worthy of the "Hottest Band In America" praise we’re heaping on them in this post. 

Here’s a slideshow from The Long Blondes stunning fools at Saturday night’s show in DC with openers Drug Rug.  Take that Duffy.

Vampire Weekend “All About The Kids?” Part One

January 23rd, 2008 by Adam F

In anticipation of next week’s release of Vampire Weekend’s debut album, we’re kicking off a multi-part series called "All About The Kids?".

The back story?  Well, more often than not in a Beggars Group marketing meeting, we’ll say "this music is all about the young people" and proceed to make baby Ts and jock Dan Zanes’ booking agent for an opening slot.  And being the vacuous marketing people that we sometimes often are, we leave such assumptions unchecked and untested.

So, over the next two weeks we’ll be testing our assumptions about Vampire Weekend by employing various scientifically questionable methods ranging from an 11 month old’s dance meter (as seen below) to a series of album reviews written by 5th graders at a Brooklyn public school. 

So, our first test is young Ella and her visceral reaction to the A-Punk video that is taking MTV by storm.  You decide.
