  • Sky Ferreira Cancels Remainder of Tour

    Sky Ferreira Cancels Remainder of Tour

    Only a few short weeks after Sky Ferreira was arrested for drug possession in New York City, the singer announced she will be canceling her remaining U.S. tour dates with Vampire Weekend.

    She claims the cancelation is due to a “vocal injury.” The tour cancelation was announced through a press release.

    She tweeted a sad little message on Oct. 4. Maybe this was her apology to her fans for canceling on them?

    The injury became inflamed after her performance on Oct. 1 in San Diego. Ferreira contracted a hemorrhage of her vocal cords.

    The press release said, “While Sky is extremely frustrated and saddened about the forthcoming cancellations she is at the same time relieved to have her vocal chord issues finally diagnosed correctly. Ferreira’s Ear, Nose and Throat doctor has prescribed complete vocal rest for the forthcoming 2 weeks.”

    Hopefully the singer can return to the stage in time for her album release of, “Night Time, My Time” show on Oct. 27 in Los Angeles.

    Her album will drop two days later on Oct. 29.

    Last month, Ferreira was arrested with her boyfriend of the indie rock band, DIIV, Zachary Cole Smith. Smith was found in possession of heroin and a stolen license plate all while Ferreira had Ecstasy on her person.

  • Steve Buscemi Is Directing a Vampire Weekend Concert, and YouTube Is Streaming It

    Hey, if you need something to do Sunday night while you DVR Game of Thrones, Vampire Weekend is performing at Tribeca, Steve Buscemi is directing it, and YouTube is streaming it.

    This concert marks the 12th in the American Express Unstaged series, and partnership with AMEX, YouTube, and VEVO.

    “On Sunday at 9 p.m. ET, Vampire Weekend will perform a concert directed by none other than award-winning actor, director and producer Steve Buscemi to close out this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. And the best news of all is that you won’t need tickets to the Roseland Ballroom to take in the show. You can experience the entire event from the comfort of your couch via YouTube.”

    If it seems odd that Steve Buscemi would be directing a Vampire Weekend concert, well, it’s not. First off, this kind of thing has happened before (famous Hollywood figures directing YouTube concerts) and second, this:

    Makes more sense now, huh?

    Vampire Weekend’s new album, Modern Vampires in the City, will be released on May 6th (U.K) and May 7th (U.S.). You can check out Vampire Weekend’s YouTube channel here, which is also where you’ll find the concert at 9 pm Sunday.
