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 .
