Jonah Hill's UWS-Set Vampire Weekend Video Drops
Upper West Siders were treated to a thrill/minor disruption at Zabar's a few weeks back. Here's the finished product.
UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — New York City-based band Vampire Weekend release their Jonah Hill-directed music video for new song "Sunflower" which features Hill's trippy take on a typical Upper West Side day.
The band and Hill were spotted filming in an Upper West Side Zabar's and in front of local smoked fish institution Barney Greengrass in early February, delighting some Upper West Siders while causing others to kvetch about delays at the grocery store.
The star power in "Sunflower" doesn't stop with Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig and Hill. Featured guitarist Steve Lacy stars alongside Koenig in the video and famed comedian Jerry Seinfeld makes an appearance in the section filmed in Barney Greengrass.
