I've heard good things about their live show, but I don't have any personal experience. I'm guessing their indie-Afrobeat sound might go down well in the desert, and I'll be there barring some catastrophic conflict on another stage.

They are worth checking out live - a lot better than on cd (altho i like that too).

Sitting in a portapotty for an hour would be more enjoyable than seeing Vampire Weekend.

Vampire Weekend is awesome, and from everything I've read, their shows are solid.

The VIP was meant as a joke, like pay extra to shit on the bands after the show... k, nevermind.

i would love to see them live...but their show is gonna be PACKED. and a packed tent at 3pm is sometimes worse than sitting in a porto potty for an hour.
They have a live show archived on npr.org check it out - they have all kinds of cool stuff (interviews, shows, studio sessions etc.) Go here...

Trying to understand... so seeing them would be worth it, but in doing so you are obligated to take a shit on each member of the band? Does this take place afterwards, or will they then perform covered in said poo? What if I really want to see them, but just can't pinch one off after eating festival food all weekend?
Or am I overanalyzing one of the stupidest things I've ever read on the internet?

I saw them at the Rickshaw Stop last month and it was a fun and enjoyable show. The opener Yacht was off the hook though.

Coachellas become what it is, a gimmicky mainstreamed soon too be billboard festival catered to close-minded people like you. Open your ears and hopefully your mind will follow.

no. Vampire Weekend just sucks.... i mean, not so much i don't like them, but they lack talent, and good songs.
it's ok, if you like them, i'm sure someone listened to static X once and said it was good too. don't feel bad, these things happen.

coachella's become mainstreamed?
there's always been mainstream acts @ coachella.. since day 1.
coachella 99:
ratm =supermainstrean
tool= supermainstream
moby = mainstream
APC = mainstream
beck = mainstream
morrissey = mainstream

etc, etc
yeah hyper, that's kinda what i'm talking about..
"Mainstream is, generally, the common current of thought of the majority. It is a term most often applied in the arts (i.e., music, literature, and performance). This includes:
something that is ordinary or usual;
something that is familiar to the masses;
something that is available to the general public."
i think this could also apply to a specific genre..
mainstream rock (rock as a whole):
ratm
tool
rhcp
radiohead
etc
a friend of mine once said, if you can find it at walmart it's mainstream..
any thoughts on this?
