Pitchfork

We ran through all our jokes last time, so now we'll just lay it all out for you: Vampire Weekend and YACHT-- who, all gags about recreational boating vessels and social standing aside, are both great bands-- will kick off their joint tour tonight in San Diego. The two will match wits just about every night from now through April 6, when they'll part ways in Chicago. Probably over a fancy dinner at a wine bar overlooking Lake Michigan. (Ack, sorry.)

Both bands have plenty of other dates besides, with YACHT hitting New York and eventually the UK/Europe, and the V-Dubs going to Brown, Coachella, the UK (including the ATP vs. Pitchfork fest), Spain, the American south, this summer's far-too-far-away Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, and, finally, Japan.
