Talk about stroking an ego: Vampire Weekend had a completely sold out show on a Tuesday night in a brewery in downtown San Luis Obispo last Tuesday night. The tiny venue was packed, with people jumping around to catchy indie pop-rock for almost 2 straight hours. Here’s one of the new songs titled White Sky they played in SLO. Formed at Columbia University, Vampire Weekend became a sensation practically overnight, and their stage presence definitely showed it. The band didn’t waste time talking in between songs, and the atmosphere was alive and excited the entire time. The show was fast paced, only accelerated by the music, especially the new songs from Contra due to release in January. Since their self titled album is relatively short, they played a lot of songs off of Contra, including the single Horchata, which you can download for free from their website here. Their new music seems more rock-ish and also more experimental. A couple of their new songs use voice changers and more synthetic sounds. After their encore and last song (Walcott), they announced that they will probably go on tour again after the release of their album January 12^th.
