Indie-rockers Vampire Weekend [ tickets ] have set up a December headlining trek as the band continues to support its self-titled debut album from earlier in the year.

The New Yorkers kick off the outing Dec. 1 in Washington, DC, with two shows in the nation's capital followed by a three-night engagement in New York City. The tour will also touch down in Boston; Montclair, NJ; and Portland, OR. Dates are below.

The band, which shared the stage with David Crosby and Graham Nash earlier in October at a fundraiser for the political advocacy group Music for Democracy, is currently on tour in Europe. Information on overseas shows can be found at Vampire Weekend's website

Vampire Weekend's highly anticipated, self-titled debut album was released in January, moving over 27,000 copies during its first week and debuting at No. 17 on The Billboard 200 album chart. The album garnered much pre-release hype through word-of-mouth and the Internet. Earlier this year, the band became the first outfit ever to be photographed for the cover of Spin Magazine before releasing its debut, according to the publication.

"We recorded most of it ourselves in a couple of different locations," lead singer Ezra Koenig told the UK's NME.com earlier this year, "In a friend’s basement who had a good set up for recording drums," he said, adding that much of the recording work was done in band members' apartments.

"There's even some stuff on the album that we recorded almost a year ago at our drummer's parents' house in New Jersey, at this barn that they have, so they're really echoey drums," he added.
