As announced on Anthem magazine’s website last week, Vampire Weekend dropped a new single and video from the album Contra, “Giving Up the Gun.” While the band has been steadily crossing over (#1 on the charts), the band still hangs on to their more alternative roots. In the video, helmed by The Malloys (N.E.R.D., White Stripes, Silversun Pickups, etc.), the band’s performance is interwoven into a “bizarre-o tennis match” featuring Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers, Jake Gyllenhaal, Lil’ Jon and RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan as the referee. As to be expected, it’s not your typical tennis match. Gyllenhaal manages to binge his way to defeat, Lil’ Jon is a tennis consultant and Joe Jonas is somehow one of the cooler ‘actors’ in the video. It’s not clear how The Malloys managed to pull the strings that they did to get not one, but three music superstars and a top-name actor, but Vampire Weekend is riding high(er) with a top notch video with plenty of balls.
