A band that started as a garage band, about two years ago, following The Jonas Brothers on their tour and playing outside their venues. A Disney scout spotted them and put them in the Next big thing competition. Even though they lost, they got signed to Hollywood Records, and appear on Disney Channel and MTV every so often. Despite popular belief; they are NOT a Disney band (even though that's how they got their start) and were a band WAY before Big Time Rush was even put together by Nickelodeon. Also, Unlike Big Time Rush, they write their own music, have deep voices, weren't put together, and don't have a comedy show because they are to busy working on new music and albums, rehearsing and playing concerts for their adoring fans, having USTREAMS and Stickams for their fans, and hanging out w/ their fans.

EXAMPLES:
1) BTR Fan: Allstar Weekend Only got signed by Disney so they could compete with Nick's latest success, Big Time Rush (Yes, copy BTR)
Anyone w/ common sense (and a brain): Actually, A-Dub was a band way before BTR existed.
2) friend: Why do you like Allstar Weekend?
Me: Because they are super sweet, down-to-earth, funny, adorable, have amazing music, actually play their instruments and sing on stage, have Meet 'n' Greets at every single concert, and love their fans.

Get the Allstar Weekend mug.A weekend in which a man dresses in women's clothing and assumes a female identity in order to determine whether or not he would enjoy being a woman. Inspired by the movie "Tootsie" starring Dustin Hoffman.
Not to be confused with a Doubtfire holiday in which a man dresses as a woman to secretly spend time with his children.

Their awesome music is influenced by reggae, ska and afro-pop.

Get the Vampire Weekend mug.A wonderful, new-ish band who 1. Got signed by Hollywood Records after winning Disney's Next Big Thing 2. Yes, style of music is COMPLETELY different from BTR 3. Have a band name Allstar Weekend 4. Only got signed because of their raw talent and their music.
They actually resemble no band as Big Time Rush. I mean, seriously "LOOK AT THEM" Allstar Weekend actually has 5 people in their band and they all play instruments. Their sound of music is so different and I'd say the only thing that's similar ABOUT them is just saying they have the same genre. Does all pop music sound the same? Oh of course.
Big Time Rush's music would be more similar to N'Sync. Their personalities are so unalike. The singer, Zach, is Irish, Scottish and Polish, so different from James from BTR, who is Russian. None are trying to be the hot-shot leader of the band and all actually love their fans. And there is a Spanish dude in each band! OMG that just makes it clear that they have the same personalities. Cause all spanish people think the same way. Jeez man do your research before you write a definition. Having 3 arguments doesn't make your statement clear.
I personally think Allstar Weekend is NOT going to epically fail. And I'm right. They are continuing to grow and now, they're on tour with Selena Gomez. And you can click the thumbs down button all you want, but face the facts: THEY TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM BIG TIME RUSH WHO HAS AMAZING MUSIC, if you gave them the damn chance. Stop being judgmental.

Get the Hundred Beer Weekend mug.Straight, 9-5 working male, living in Chicago, taking full advantage of the train's budget weekend pass and riding up to the North Shore to walk the quaint "downtown" streets while dressed to the nines in drag. Aka, weekend rail rider.
The new guy, from accounting, Dude's a total North Shore Weekend Warrior! On the weekends, he takes the train from the city up north to the 'burbs to strut his stuff in drag.

Get the North Shore Weekend Warrior mug.A terrific Indie Rock band. Vampire Weekend established their unique and unlikely sound on their debut album, which combined punk with classical, new wave, and worldbeat music. The album was terrific, but even better is their 2nd album (Contra), which, while still containing their sound from their debut album, explores genres such as synthpop, more 80's, ska, and reggae. Contra is a classic and arguably one of the greatest modern indie records ever made. They're also notable for their unique lyrics from Ezra Koenig, using unique nouns in his songwriting to make it sound really cool.
I am a huge Vampire Weekend fan, and when they announce a third album, I will freak out. They are one of the best bands ever, and will continue to impact mainstream indie rock with every album they release.

Every Vampire Weekend band member is extremely talented and all of their songs (including Ottoman) are awesome! Get their albums today!
Obama is using Vampire Weekend songs for his campaign? That might actually make me want to vote for him!
