Watch Steve Buscemi’s extremely awkward Vampire Weekend promo video

Steve Buscemi wants to be in a band. Specifically Vampire Weekend only to, y’know, help them reach a broader audience.

The actor/director will be helming Vampire Weekend’s Amex Unstaged concert, webcast live on April 28 at 9 p.m. EST. In a promo clip for the show, it is revealed that Buscemi and VW’s Chris Baio are distantly related, and it’s a riff on that: how would a weird act and behave toward somebody that they’re supposedly blood-relative to?

Get your strange hugs out now, it’s gonna get bumpy.

Vampire Weekend’s third album “Vampires of the Modern City” will be out May 14.
