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.
this was such an amazing concert. The band was incredible and the lights were very impressive! The men were extremely charismatic performers. The set list was a great mix of new and old songs, all of which seemed to greatly impress the audience, including myself. i would have paid $80+ on top of the $20 i paid to see this show. No joke, it was that amazing. i am so glad to have gone to this and i would recommend it to anyone.
Awesome venue and the performance was nothing short of amazing.
That Was one of the best concerts i'm glad i came from vegas to c them it was well worth th money!!! :)
Vampire Weekend was amazing. They sound great live. Pocahaunted was also really good.
The show was great! Full of energy and Ezra really got the crowd going, there was never really a dull moment! I even got to meet the guys after and they were super nice and great sports.
Such a great show. They sound just like the album but BETTER. High energy! They played many new songs from their up and coming album. I can't until the new album comes out in January. Can't wait to see them again. Really great crowd too.
The Catalyst was a good venue to catch Vampire Weekend. Though I was disappointed they didn't play "The Kids Don't Stand a Chance", overall the performance was good, albeit short (total concert time was about 70 minutes). They played about six songs from their upcoming album and would see them in a small venue again. This band is not really equipped to deliver on anything larger than say, The Filmore because I think they need the intimacy with the audience to keep the show going.
Enjoyed their new songs. Can't wait for the album release.
Pure awesomeness. Truly a good time. Kind of strange that it was just them alone.
Love their music and didn't know what to expect live. The Catalyst was the perfect small venue to see them and they were jumpin'. The energy between the band and the audience was the best! They played favorites and new stuff and we couldn't stop dancing. One of the funnest shows I've seen in awhile.
Wow. Four college guys from the University of Columbia came together to make some fantastic music in my hometown of Lafayette last night. Upon hearing that Vampire Weekend was coming to play at the Town Hall Theater, the world stopped for a second. I could not believe that such a big band would come to such an unorthodox location to play! I felt so blessed. Upon getting to the venue, I met my friends first in line, and we rushed to go to the front row. The freaking FRONT ROW of Vampire Weekend in a venue of less than 200! Does life get any sweeter? Ezra's voice is just unreal, and the rest of the band played so well and had so much energy that my friends and I had to get up and dance with the rest of the crowd! On top of that, Vampire Weekend played over half of their new album Contra! Holiday, White Sky, California English, and other new songs are even catchier and pleasing to the ear than their first album! That is what astounds me so much. My friends and I discussed how it would be impossible that Vampire Weekend could surpass their phenomenal debut album. Looks like we were wrong! I cannot wait to see them live again, and again, and again!
