Vampire Weekend + Steve Buscemi = One awesome YouTube live streamed concert this Sunday
Friday, April 26, 2013
If you’ve ever spent a Sunday night enjoying
"Boardwalk Empire"
or rocking out to (and properly using the)
"Oxford Comma,"
you’re in for a treat this weekend.
On Sunday at 9 p.m. ET, Vampire Weekend will perform a concert directed by none other than award-winning actor, director and producer Steve Buscemi to close out this year’s
Tribeca Film Festival
. And the best news of all is that you won’t need tickets to the Roseland Ballroom to take in the show. You can experience the entire event from the comfort of your couch via YouTube.
This concert, which is a lead-up to the release of Vampire Weekend’s next album, marks the 12th installment of “American Express Unstaged,” a concert series in partnership with YouTube and VEVO that brings together musical artists and film directors to create innovative performances.
The show’s sure to be full of great songs and surprises, including an opportunity for fans at home to unlock an exclusive BACKSTAGED performance, so mark your calendar and be sure to tune in. Here’s some trivia you may not even know: just last month, vocalist and bassist Chris Baio learned he’s actually related to Buscemi (
thank you, genealogy websites
).
Check out
Vampire Weekend’s channel
to see new, exclusive videos from this zany collaboration. We can’t wait to see what happens live.
