Vampire Weekend Release Father Of The Bride

Ending months of fevered anticipation punctuated by three brilliant double-A-side singles and a slew of over-the-top positive early reviews, Vampire Weekend's long-awaited fourth album Father of the Bride is released now, on Columbia Records / Sony Music Entertainment Australia.

Vampire Weekend will celebrate FOTB's release with an all-day show Sunday, May 5th at New York City's recently reopened Webster Hall. Over the course of the morning and afternoon, the band will play three sets including a performance of the new album in its entirety. Bagels for breakfast and pizza for lunch will be included.

Simultaneous to the May 5th all-day affair will be a very special episode of Time Crisis with Ezra Koenig. This installment of the internet radio show created and hosted by Ezra will feature an in-depth dissection of FOTB with the album's co-producer Ariel Rechtshaid and de facto Time Crisis co-host Jake Longstreth.

And on Tuesday, May 7th, Vampire Weekend will make its first television appearance in five years, with a debut performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
