Recent Australian visitors Vampire Weekend will top this year's Groovin' The Moo Festival lineup.
The band were in Australia last November for a whirlwind promo tour in the lead up to their second (US chart-topping) album
Contra. We interviewed the band and then
took in their show at the Oxford Arts Factory in Sydney. It was good. The end.
Joining them will be proven North American indie mainstays Spoon (
read our review of their awesome new record Transference) and Tegan & Sara, as well as a portion of big name Australian bands that suggest nothing interesting has happened in Australian Music in the last decade.
