The band was inspired to play a Jewy holiday show in part by its sonic brethren, Yo La Tango, who annually host Chanukah concerts.</p> <p>Based in Los Angeles, Princeton was formed by twins Jesse and Matt Kivel and pals Ben Usen and David Kitz a few short years back. The band released its debut album <em>Cocoon of Love</em> (Kanine Records) this past September. <br /><br />Musically, they've been compared to Vampire Weekend, Beirut and Belle & Sebastian — all of which are fairly accurate and I feel, quite complimentary.</p> <p>Happy (Hebrew) Holidays Southern California!</p>
