New York indie-rock act Vampire Weekend's third album, Modern Vampires of the City, hit the streets in 2013 and debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart. The feat was nothing new for the acclaimed young band, which also topped the chart with their preceding album, 2010's Contra.
Ezra Koenig (lead vocals), Chris Baio (bass), Chris Tomso (drums), and Rostam Batmanglij (producer and multi-instrumentalist) formed Vampire Weekend while attending New York's Columbia University, and their fusing of alt-rock sensibilities with African rhythms and hooks was garnering plenty of attention long before they'd released their self-titled debut album in 2008 -- in fact, their first appearance on the cover of Spin magazine came before their first album hit stores. The early acclaim and scrutiny didn't faze the band, which continued to impress fans and critics with each new release. Vampire Weekend remained a fixture on the tour circuit in 2013 as the foursome headlined concerts at large venues around the world and topped bills at major festivals. Fans who scored tickets in 2013 heard the band play favorites like "A-Punk," "Oxford Comma," and "Horchata," along with several songs from Modern Vampires of the City.
As we all know live music can sometimes be a let down compared to an album. Vampire weekend however may have been even better live then in their albums! Awesome music, good energy and lots of fun.
Vampire Weekend was awesome. They put on such a good show. They were so fun and energetic and it looked like they were having a blast on stage. Wasn't sure about the opener...kind of unusual. But Vampire kicked A**.
Awesome Concert!!! Fun and energetic. Very enjoyable!!!
Vampire Weekend has a wonderfully colorful catalog and it shows in concert. There isn't much of a visual experience to it, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing as it allows their music to truly shine. I would highly recommend.
Only an hour long set but they packed all the good hits and made the whole place dance into a frenzy. The new material from the upcoming album sounded great too!
