Battles or Vampire Weekend? (live-centric)

Vampire Weekend and Battles are clashing at T in the Park and I can't decide which one to see. Which is better live?

Hellllppppp.



  • Depends what you like.

    I think Battles suck, but everyone says they are very good live. Against that, I quite like Vampire Weekend, but they don't really cut it live.

    • I didn't like VW

      til I saw em live. Battles are playing a new song.

      Tough call.

  • vampire weekend

  • Wellllll

    Battles haven't released anything of note since the first 3 EPs and are super boring live these days.

    Vampire weekend sound like a really rubbish Graceland...

    Go have a pint?

    • I would, but I love both the bands music

      so I would kick myself for not seeing either, even if they did both turn out to be crap.

      (By the way, I slightly prefer Vampire Weekend's music, if that's any pointer.)

    • ha,

      could you BE more DiS?

  • Battles

    Better live

  • battles

    one of the best live bands on the planet

    vampire weekend are the american keane but with less charisma

    • "vampire weekend are the american keane but with less charisma"

      Bull. Shit.

      I don't like them.

      But inaccurate bullshit.

  • BATTLES, BATTLES, BATTLES

    then some more Battles

    • ^^ This

      Battles at Greenman were storming.
      Vampire Weekend at ATP was impossibly dull.

  • one of the silliest questions i've ever heard

  • Battles, no contest.

    I thought Vampire Weekend were terrible live, and I quite liked their album.

    • ^ this

      Vampire Weekend were terrible at ATP, really perfunctory and they just looked bored.

  • battles

    vampire weekend are dull dull dull live.

  • Vampire Weekend are terrible live

    Battles are really good live

    • Has to be

      Battles for me based on their ATP shows, although I've not seen Vampire Weekend yet so can't really comment on them.

  • Well, as Vampire Weekend suck

    go and see Battles.

  • Vampire Weekend live

    is embarrassing.

  • battles FTW

    • Battles

      Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles Battles

      There is NO contest here. You hear what I'm saying?

      • Funnily enough

        I saw both of these bands live yesterday at the Accelerator festival in Stockholm. Battles win.

  • BATTLES

  • battles

  • vampire weekend

    battles will be boring live, and use that super annoying voice pitch changer
