The band who brought you songs like "Giving up the gun and "cousins", Vampire Weekend are being sued by the cover model "Ann Kirsten Kennis" on their second album "Contra".




This photo is Ann was taken in 1983 by photographer Tod Brody, but was not used as the album cover until 2010. Ann filed a lawsuit claiming that the signature on the release form that would allow the band to use the image was forged. She states that she had no idea that her photo was going to be on the 2010 album cover and that she blames the band for not verifying legitimacy of her signature on the release.

Vampire Weekend are such a good band, i hope this will not get in the way of the furthering their career.
