Ezra Koenig & The Black Keys threw down on The Colbert Report.

Ezra Koenig and the Black Keys

Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend recently appeared on The Colbert Report, where in order to win Colbert's Grammy vote for this year's Best Alternative Album category, he challenged The Black Keys to a 'Sell Out Off'. Ezra and The Keys went back and forth fighting over who had their music in the most commercials. The hilarious video, which ends in everyone breaking out into a gang fight can be found at Colbert nation.

The host also took shots at all of the other Best Alternative Album nominees such as: Arcade Fire, Broken Bells and Band of Horses. Vampire Weekend only have a handful of upcoming dates, all of which are overseas. These are apparently going to be their last shows for a considerable amount of time.
