Ezra Koenig Career

Career

In 2005, Ezra formed the indie rock band Vampire Weekend. The group's name was in reference to an unreleased indie film of the same name that Ezra and his colleagues produced during a vacation. In the film, Ezra portrayed Walcott, a man who was hell-bent on escaping Cape Cod because vampires were approaching. Many songs from the band's eponymous debut made reference to the film.

Before 2003, Ezra met his colleagues at Columbia University. Koenig became familiar with Rostam Batmanglij after having already met drummer Chris Tomson. At a party early in freshman year, the two band members quickly bonded over Radiohead and promised to form a band the next day. Chris Baio, Koenig's suite-mate in his sophomore year, and with whom he expressed a fondness of Destiny's Children, rounding out the group. The group got to work right away, appearing in their first show in 2006 at a battle of the bands in a basement. They came in third place out of four teams. Some of their demos appeared online later this year, attracting raves from websites such as Stereogum and Pitchfork. They were already selling out shows and appearing on the front page of Spin before they knew it.

Their eponymous debut album debuted on January 29, 2008, and by the end of the year, they had appeared on Saturday Night Live and performed for 40,000 people at England's Glastonbury Festival, selling nearly half a million albums. When they were full-time employees, they made the album themselves. Since then, the band has released another three albums: Contra (2010), Modern Vampires of the City (2013), and Father of the Bride (2019).

Multiple Grammy Awards have been given to the band. Contra was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album in 2011, but Brothers by The Black Keys received the accolade. Modern Vampires of the City was nominated in 2014, and the band received the award this time. Following Koenig's win, he declared, "I'm the pre-eminent Ezra of my time"; and "I'm the first Ezra of my time," says Koenig, "and if I die, we'll talk about who comes next." Father of the Bride won their second award for Best Alternative Music Album and first nominee for Album of the Year in 2020. Best Rock Song winner "Harmony Hall" was nominated for Best Rock Song.

Koenig started hosting his own internet radio show on Apple Music in 2015.

Koenig appears on Time Crisis, an American painter, singer, and internet radio presenter. Each episode lasts two hours, in which Koenig and Company discuss corporate snack food history, the culinary palette of 70s rock (with a focus on The Grateful Dead), portmanteaus, and listening to listener emails. Koenig and Longstreth compare the top five songs on Apple Music this week to that of a week ago that is relevant to the episode's discussion.

On the internet radio show, Jonah Hill, Rashida Jones, Mark Ronson, Florence Welch, Jamie Foxx, Tim Heidecker, James Corden, James Corden, and Koenig's sister, Emma Koenig, have appeared as guests.

The show debuted on July 12, 2015, and new episodes air every two weeks. The program is now in its eighth season.

Koenig wrote and produced an animated comedy-adventure collection about a depressive, demon-slaying playboy portrayed by Jaden Smith following a break from Vampire Weekend. In September 2017, Netflix's Neo Yokio series premiered. The show was written and produced in 2015, with the final sound mix being completed in January 2016, but it was postponed until Netflix finally picked up the show.

Neo Yokio is based on an anime movie. In a Rolling Stone magazine interview, Koenig said that the show is not a traditional anime: "I've always considered Neo Yokio "anime-inspired" ā€“ it's a hybrid. I've always been a fan of anime, and I've always wanted to do something that was sort of an homage to it. It's likely to be a loving parody. Initially, the people I was working with thought I should be the voice of the main character, but I was able to say, 'I just spent seven years being the frontman of something.' "I want to get into the middle of something right now."

Critical praises followed the show's first season on release, with a 54% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Shannon Liao of The Verge critiqued the show's plot and voice-acting, claiming that "the first glamor of the backdrops and talents involved wears off quickly." It has a terrible voice and a sad, predictable plot that is only surprising because it is so eager to reach the bottom of the barrel." "Yes, my girlfriend broke up with me to work in San Francisco," the New York Times wrote a more optimistic review, stating that "if a defensive reading of the book, my girlfriend broke up with me to take a finance job in San Francisco" makes you chuckle, "neo Yokio" may be for you."

On an episode of Time Crisis in early 2018, Koenig discussed Neo Yokio's future, hinting that "Neo's not dead" is not dead." However, Netflix pulled the show the following month after a one-month and a Christmas special.

This weekly collection does not discriminate by genre and can include anything ā€” it's a snapshot of what's on our minds and what sounds good.
