Vampire Weekend
The name comes from singer Ezra Koenig who was home for the summer during college and watched “The Lost Boys.” He liked it so much that he wanted to make his own New England version, and for two days he filmed a movie called Vampire Weekend about a guy whose dad gets killed by vampires and he travels to Cape Cod to warn the mayor that vampires are attacking the country. After the two days he kind of forgot about it, but when the band got together they adopted the name.
