Have yourself a Vampire Weekend this April. |

Vampire Weekend seems to be the next biggest thing coming out of the New York indie rock scene, although its sound is anything but limited to one geographic area.
The band describes itself as "Upper West Side Soweto." We use words like sunny, casual and suave -- music that takes much more from Afro-pop than it does from the core of rock and roll.
Vampire Weekend released its self-titled debut album on Jan. 29 on XL Records. The brand new band -- only about a year old -- is preparing for tour, one that brings it to Milwaukee's Turner Hall Ballroom on Saturday, April 5 at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $12 (general admission, limited cabaret seating) and go on sale Friday, Feb. 15 at noon at The Pabst Theater box office and The Riverside Theater box office, on the Web at
www.turnerhallballroom.org and www.tickets.com, or by calling (414) 286-3663 or (800) 511-1552. Tickets are available night of show at Turner Hall Ballroom box office.

the tommy lee thing was in jest (does anybody quote that guy seriously?). it's his own special way of saying "good for you". my point was if others enjoy your writing, more power to you.

Not too sure what the Tommy Lee thing is supposed to mean, but oh well. Yeah that was my weakest article so far, I'll give ya that. I had doubts about it while writing it, at 3 in the morning after drinking Tall Boys all night (fallin asleep while I type). But what can ya do?
