Indie band Vampire Weekend are being sued by model Kirsten Kennis over the image on their 2010 album Contra, which was allegedly taken in 1983.
In a lawsuit, filed yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, Kennis claims she thinks it all has to do with a "photographic release" that the band obtained from a photographer named Tod Brody.
Problem is, Kennis claims the signature on the release is a forgery. Kennis blames the band for not verifying the legitimacy of the release -- and is suing VW and the photog for more than $2 mil.
More information as the story develops.
