Vampire Weekend

On November 17, 2010, Vampire Weekend performed a vibrant live set at Paris's Le Zénith, a venue known for its energetic crowds and stellar acoustics. At that time, the band had just released their sophomore album, "Contra," which debuted earlier in January of that year. This album showcased their growth, moving slightly away from the carefree vibe of their self-titled debut, diving deeper into themes of love, longing, and even political undertones. It includes notable tracks like "Cousins," the very song that electrified the Paris crowd during this recording. Fun fact: "Contra" actually made it to number one on the Billboard 200 chart, cementing their place in indie rock. This live performance, bursting with infectious energy, reflects not just their sound evolution but also the band's burgeoning status within the music scene, as they began attracting larger audiences and gaining international acclaim. It’s a snapshot of a band on the rise!
