Vampire Weekend is willing to suck your blood Friday-Sunday 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.

– The deafening “buzz” emanating from most New York bands gets pretty tiresome after awhile (i.e. at a frequency that induces massive vomiting), but here’s an act with an honest-to-god hook: Vampire Weekend. The band, which plays at the Hi-Dive tonight with Sudden Epidemic and the Bluebird Equation, throws Afro-beat influences into its frenetic post-punk songs. Check out their Myspace page for a sample, or here for all the show details.
