We went to see Vampire Weekend in Manchester on Monday and I was sort of looking forward to it, I mean I love live music and we'd seen them before and they we're good then, but on this occasion I'm not so sure.

Not sure if it was the new material or the style of music that's given me reservations but it seems that they have had a lot of influence from all different types of music from all over the world and they've not only tried to put all those influences into one album, but on occasion, one song all in about what feels like 30 seconds!

Last time we saw them they were a new band with a new album and it was all very exciting, this was just more of the same and I don't feel they have developed musically, although that might be typical for new bands and solo artists, Bjork released an album, Debut, when she split from The Sugarcubes, and then her second album was called Post signifying the start and end of the type of work she had to get out of her system before she produced the album Homgenic that was 'her'.

So maybe Vampire Weekend will develop further, one to keep an eye on for the future....
