Imagine a ven diagram with Vampire Weekend fans in the left circle and Guitar Hero/Band Hero fans on the right circle.  If you exist in the nexus between those two circles then you might be interested to know that Activision has released a two song track pack.  For 440 MS points/$5.49 in the PSN store you can get the songs "Cousins" and "Holiday" from the bands new album Contra.  If you're looking for the song Cousins Holiday then you'll need to wait for the yet to be announce HeeHaw pack.  

Today, a new Vampire Weekend three-song track pack is available for Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero. The popular band returns to the Guitar Hero franchise with the Vampire Weekend Track Pack featuring two songs — “Cousins” and “Holiday” — from their brand-new album Contra as well as “The Kids Don’t Stand a Chance” from their 2008 self-titled debut album Vampire Weekend.
