What They're Up To Next: The indie-poppers are currently hard at work on their second record, which is slated for release later this year.

Why the Honey Brothers Chose Them: "Vampire Weekend take world music and classic songwriting and craft a completely fresh and fun sound. All of their songs have a great sense of humor, and a beautiful, shiny guitar sound. They suit the atmosphere of a sunny afternoon and a couple of beers."
