	Alex	I'm with Tim on this one, I'm not happy at all with you guys pulling out of Langerado. You were a big part of why I bought a ticket, it's really lame that you changed your mind at the last minute for SNL.   Posted by Alex on Sunday, March 02, 2008 - 4:54 PM [Reply to this]

	Alex	im glad one of you got hit by a car   Posted by Alex on Sunday, March 02, 2008 - 4:56 PM [Reply to this]

		All right I won't be as rough as some others, but I'm totally bummed out that you will be missing Langerado. You're one of the main reasons I got a ticket because more often than not, smaller bands don't come to South Florida. So.... please not only make up a date in Orlando and St. Augustine, but how about showing South Florida some love and booking a show here. Get with Ethan and figure something out please. You are already starting to get a rather large fan base down here. I'm sure a show at Revolution or Culture Room or hell even Pompano Amph. would be amazing. JUST DON'T FORGET TO SHOW SOUTH FLORIDA SOME LOVE.... WE'RE NYC SOUTH ANYWAYS!!!!! not orlando or st augustine.......   Posted by on Sunday, March 02, 2008 - 6:21 PM [Reply to this]

	will will richards	i dont like u people SNL sucks its not funny and Langerado is where real musicians go to play.. sorry u make poor decisions maybe u should go back to school..   Posted by will on Sunday, March 02, 2008 - 6:57 PM [Reply to this]

	jade	glad you're ok, chris! and can it be june already?   Posted by jade on Sunday, March 02, 2008 - 7:57 PM [Reply to this]

		Talked to more friends who were going to Langerado to catch your show and we're all pissed guys. Total crap.   Posted by on Sunday, March 02, 2008 - 11:25 PM [Reply to this]

	togepi	aw, no! i was so excited to see you guys in st aug! have fun doin SNL, you're breakin' my heart! but really, sorry about getting hit by a car, glad the injuries were only minor. congrats on all the success and attention you're getting, don't forget to come visit us in the sunshine state, alright? xo cara   Posted by togepi on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 12:28 AM [Reply to this]

	Sneak a Peek	Cara, don't be lame. You were totally pissed on the phone.   Posted by Sneak a Peek on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 2:33 AM [Reply to this]

	FIJARIO	SNL is a big deal, but I don't think people realize that their are new episodes, so hopefully folks are watching. But Saturday Night Live is on a Saturday?? Why cancel a Thursday, fly up to New York leave you stuff in ATL and get back on tour. Plus, I was looking forward to seeing you guys, before frat boys started going to your shows, and yell out free bird every song.(band of horses) And another thing the walkmen tickets shouldn't be 16 bucks!WTF?? not worth it, no offence to the walkmen, how about maybe 10 bucks And who is filling in for you guys? (don't leave us hanging with 2 bands) So the next time you come to Florida with a bigger fan base you'll probably be a Club Firestone.. Hey maybe even the social? but I have to wait till June, and until then keep making amazing music! and to note Langerado is still going to be good, people that pay $90-200 dollars to see one band. Do I have to go through the list of bands for you?   Posted by FIJARIO on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 3:46 AM [Reply to this]

	Ed	To all the people making the nasty comments about Vampire Weekend... GET OVER IT!!! They are getting popular, and this is the kind of thing that happens when bands get popular. They've obviously gotten to this point due to a great deal of hard work. Besides, a band would have to be insane to turn down an opportunity to play on SNL. I wish them all the success in the world.   Posted by Ed on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 5:45 AM [Reply to this]

	An Introduction to Sunshine	You will be dearly missed at Langerado. Good luck with SNL, boys.   Posted by An Introduction to Sunshine on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 7:33 AM [Reply to this]

	Alex	still think your totally lame   Posted by Alex on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 12:59 PM [Reply to this]

	zoe	okay , i think that is enough . i think they fully know that you think they are lame . but i also think they dont care .   Posted by zoe on Thursday, March 06, 2008 - 4:58 PM [Reply to this]

	alex. Alexandra Blockenfeffer	AH! i'm so happy yall are rescheduling your florida dates! now i can see you! can't wait for SNL! ♥alex.   Posted by alex. on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 6:35 PM [Reply to this]

	Tom	Guys, congrats on the SNL gig. I do think you owe the other folks a make-up, that is a couple of gigs they don't have to pay for (having already paid to hear you)--I hope that's what you have in mind (I'm not one of the people who was planning to see you in Florida, so I think I'm being objective here). No matter how hard you've worked, take it from an elder (I'm 47), you never get done giving back. I also wish there was some clever way to blow up (not literally, verbally or musically) all the critics who think they have you pegged as derivative of Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, and Talking Heads. I love those musicians and I think I know everything they've done in Afropop (except Gabriel) and your stuff doesn't sound anything like what they've done, even if you put a Strokes filter on it. These guys (the critics) clearly don't know s*** about African music, or they think it all sounds alike. I won't pretend to know your influences, but when I listen I think of stuff in a much older vein than those guys tapped into, artists like Orchestre Lipua-Lipua, Orchestre Baya-Baya, Prince Nico Mbarga, stuff like that, and its Carribean equivalents (occasionally even Harry Belafonte pops into my head). And of course every song is fully creative because there's a h*** of a lot more going on in it than straight Afro-pop.   Posted by Tom on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 6:40 PM [Reply to this]

	R.E.X.	Tom Petty is awesome!   Posted by R.E.X. on Thursday, March 06, 2008 - 9:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Snake303	Im glad vampire weekends playing SNL, people in st. augustine sound like theyre f'n idiots. like that one ugly bitch alex whos posted 3 times already hoping someone will agree with her. there option is play a small venue that only 1k people give a $hit about or play on nationally broadcast TV. also selling out is when you sign on to a big record label that has the power to control your music, thats for the stupid 14 yr olds throwing the term sellout around the boards.   Posted by Snake303 on Saturday, March 08, 2008 - 3:28 AM [Reply to this]

	Nikki Nicole Arroyo	I went to the dress rehearsal to see you guys and you guys rocked it! It was worth waiting in the rain last night!   Posted by Nikki on Sunday, March 09, 2008 - 3:54 AM [Reply to this]

	Burt Burt Empson	I just watched SNL and to be honest I had never heard of you all before. All I can say is, "Wow", I was really blown away. Your first song reminded me of the new wave group, Devo. And the song you all did at the end was very cool also. I really enjoyed how you mixed the four piece orchestra with the other instruments. Good job guys and I will check out your other songs. Keep up the good work!!!   Posted by Burt on Sunday, March 09, 2008 - 6:06 AM [Reply to this]
