'Horchata' by Vampire Weekend on Q TV

[@brinadeleon2314]

One of the few great bands of our generation.

[@ghislainegautreau7935]

What an equilibrium. Time will never make this one fade away. 4 talents melted together playing with the borders of perfection.

[@emilysaraahhh]

I love how he manages to sound exactly the same as in the albumsss ! :)

[@jasmineg8622]

I’m irish and this is how i learned about what horchata is, I often make it now

[@benjamincarney9875]

Being that they're all ivy league students, I guess it isn't coincidence that all of their work sounds sort of "scholarly".

[@manualvarado2212]

I would have never noticed it, except for Step.

[@jasmineg8622]

I know they are good at their instruments but they could have never been taught that unique style and the way they come up with these wierd and wonderful lyrics 😂, I really really need that new album, wonder have they released it yet

[@Tazza1796]

ezra has such a nice voice and he always in tune :D

[@alexismaldonado9129]

Haha, Rostam looks so delighted that his last name was pronounced correctly.

[@jkilso]

Omg I seriously listen to this song every single day. It just makes me smile, makes my day 3x's better :)

[@gloobert]

i love horchata! finally, 2 of my fave things combined: an awesome band and an awesome non-alcoholic drink. let the good times roll!

[@abteen05]

This song is amazing. Love these guys and Jian. I just saw the keyboard - they've put black tape over part of the name leaving AHA on the back. Love it.

[@SazzieChan]

I seriously had to pause it and take the first 10 seconds in. Wow. His voice is perfect, and so is the instrumentation. I've never heard a live version sound so much like the recording.

[@teamchino918]

that's the best sounding floor tom I've ever heard

[@LowLyfeStance]

Awesome band no matter what

[@ninjafiona]

i looove this band

[@Chandlerkg11]

Loving this live

[@HarrisAllinBowie]

this band makes me almost greatful to grow up in my generation.

[@gabenewell7590]

Starts at 2:09

[@netteloveszebras]

i freakin love this song (: it always makes me smiley

[@applefieldd]

CANT WAIT FOR A NEXT ALBUM

[@advenger32]

this is my favorite song by them

[@Karzzle]

That must be one of the funniest censuring everxD 'aha' ;)

[@BrightEyes10003]

ezras voice is blowing my mind. im not kidding, whenever i hear him i end up strangely confused and relaxed...

[@vospopulux]

these guys are sick!

[@gabrielaacosta2367]

como la amo!!

[@nadinelikesindierawk]

does anyone know what kind of yam"aha" synths/keyboards does rostam use on this video?

[@PanHoover882]

He uses the Yamaha VSS-30. Yamaha's take on the Casio SK-1.

[@IDontNeedNick]

absolutely amazing

[@Matraman]

awesome live

[@fukuwhale]

sound the same on recording as they live. so in my books they are the best band EVER.

[@mzungnguyen]

Lovely guitar lines on this version, pity the camera never seems to capture the fingerwork.

[@21hazel]

love it!

[@ArseniCatnipp]

amazing, i didnt know that an acoustic bass guitar existed!

[@TheOhyeah12345]

I believe it's a Yamaha VSS30 or something in the VSS range. They used them a few times on the album.

[@Ableem05]

the bass line is pretty wonderful

[@hedgehunter16]

Awesome song, awesome album. I've a feeling 2010 will be a good one musically.

[@cohenr99]

Igghgugggg

[@davidquinn225]

best band on the planet

[@punkposer]

wish I could have a recording like this for when I sleep. I love the album version but it's too upbeat for sleep. Vamp Weekend FTW!!

[@bajsabajsabajs]

I LOVE IT!!

[@pithaya]

@mswesson has to be a mix of tuning, the tape and tissue on the head and the use of a soft drumstick.

[@kweezykins]

Even better than the recording!

[@gilafunk]

Very cool

[@satanspetdoll]

I FUDGIN L:OVE THEM

[@Horaciow14]

Why are they using headphones?

[@SazzieChan]

@iHazCavities I meant the entire thing though, not just Ezra. XD The keys and the drum, and when the guitar and bass comes in. It's perfection. I love Brandon Flowers' voice :D Such an awesome name too XDD

[@celeriones]

I LOVE Chris Tomson's face during the intro LOL

[@Okwudizzle]

@killluisito Nike's?

[@CalmBlue]

@SilentEcho33 I see. Well, that would explain the 80's influence. Would love to see them recreate the "Take On Me" video.

[@iHazCavities]

@SazzieChan Never you say? Brandon Fowers is amazing singer live as well. I like guys like Ezra and Brandon because they tend to stay away from audio enhancements as much as possible, so people can hear their actual voice.

[@msnmonkeyman]

Oh God love the oooohh part...

[@inglewood826]

Vampire Weekend, Phoenix, and Florence +The Machine are the best indie groups in the entire Globe! :D --Maybe its because they actually are original and have talent. (:

[@rockysherwin]

i love them haha

[@fluffyztg]

dude they rock haha

[@5Whyz]

5:29 - the end Rostam beasts it up like a pro

[@teddybreihan]

thanks

[@teddybreihan]

What kind of keyboard does Rostam have?

[@PanHoover882]

He used a Yamaha VSS-30

[@sarahkharm]

@MeLrOb1994 LOL "When I find a Persian in a good band I'm as happy as a peacock" That's so cute

[@viciousandchaotic]

ezra has nice eyes :P

[@teddybreihan]

just bought one

[@jonov123]

@ChicIndie15 So He Has A Baby Face?

[@cog12594]

Holy shit, he took over 2 minutes to introduce the band.

[@brigeeey]

haha i love how he does gestures even though no one can see him . . .

[@iHazCavities]

V-Neck sweater on the bassist I have it! =]

[@janehtc9059]

Yay vampire weekend

[@MRPsukcs]

Holly body bass?

[@emmahke]

Hey, that's great! Not a fan of the new album, but this is really nice.

[@rhymenaecologist]

@mswesson tuned the top coat pretty loose, lots of tape, ball of tissue, voila.

[@LOOKoutITSspiderpig]

there are so many members of successful bands who would've been labelled as weird band geeks and picked on in high school before they became famous. imagine how shite the bullies would feel now.

[@AlexandKelsie]

This song makes me want to learn how to play bass

[@H3ctorV3ctor]

En diciembre me tomo mi horchata

[@smallpanzer]

That "AHA" keyboard is the shit dude im tellin ya

[@naturelribbelchips]

@TheGreenteawithmilk I think for the click track

[@Kantatzu]

1:56 You're gonna start out with a song? DURRRRRRR

[@StephyWoo]

This version is so much lovlier than the album version. I think it's because its a bit more laid back? I can't put my finger on it. D:

[@lillers43]

ezra is so beautiful...

[@1SMGFAN1]

they play soo goood with soo few instrumentsss!!!!! I LOVE THIS BAND SO FUCKIN MUCH!!!!!! I just got a blue bleedin madras shirt-jacket like Ezra's OH im so exciteeed!!! just sayin :)

[@MrTillyayre]

@tonytiger78 couldnt have put it better myself. respect.

[@animajazim]

@STOPtheHORROR thats called a good singer :D

[@EternalPerfektion]

@AlexandKelsie Haha, that's how I feel about "Cousins".

[@gabrielaacosta2367]

👏👏👏

[@CalmBlue]

I wonder why Rostam's keyboard has the "YAM" blacked out... Maybe he just has something against yams.

[@armry]

'AHA' keyboard?Haha man that's cool.

[@H00dSpecial]

it's time

[@ilovememi]

i like this version better

[@SazzieChan]

@Frogsig :D I've watched live videos. Jealous! I'm gonna see them some day

[@MnEM10]

6 people are crazy

[@mr242]

@silveyta nice eye!

[@mcgilling]

VW have gone from Chris playing one drum live to 2 drummers playing multiple drums.

[@stevenrocks4441]

2:10 you're welcome

[@unseriousone]

These guys and Muse are about the only two good live bands out there right now.

[@briancleckner9131]

BestMUSEicEver hey check out lord Huron they are amazing live and they use al types of things to create amazing sounds. A good indie band I feel as equal as vampire weekend live. I started with we went wild by lord Huron. Check them out!

[@LiamJamesFitch]

BestMUSEicEver what are you on about? Tame Impala?

[@vampyweeks]

[@treekass]

CU FOR THE WIN

[@okhairy88]

aha means F**K in arabic aha, this band is GOOD!

[@hayaaaaaaaaa]

does Ezra polish his nose? IT'S SO SHINY!

[@jaymielutz]

Ezra slightly reminds me of Anthony from Smosh. I might be the only one on this though...

[@cuomolee]

[@monkeybrainsdanny99]

[@ph0kused]

@mswesson see the tissues he ducked taped down on the drum? there ya go.
