New Vampire Weekend - 'Ruby Soho' (Rancid Cover) and Minimix
Posted by Imran on 08 February 2010
Last week Vampire Weekend visited the BBC’s beautiful Maida Vale studio to record a session for Radio 1’s Zane Lowe. As well as a great version of ‘Cousins’ which you can watch here the band were asked to perform a cover of anything they chose.
In new levels of WTF, they decided to re-nose American punk-poppers Rancid’s ‘Ruby Soho’, a track they first jammed out in California last year at Jenny Lewis’ house? You can hear / download their version here .
And here’s the original for the intrigued…
Elsewhere on Radio 1, Rostam from VW put together a blissful, 5 minute Minimix for the Annie Mac show, which you can download here or listen below.
The tracklisting is as follows…
vw – taxi cab
the 6ths – as you turn to go (ft Momus)
vw – taxi cab
Lykke Li – Dance Dance Dance (Vampire Weekend Remix)
The full Zane Lowe session and interview is available to listen to here
