Back in October 2010, when Vampire Weekend took the stage at the Thunder Dome in Bangkok, they were riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album, "Contra." Released in January of that same year, "Contra" showcased the band's knack for blending catchy melodies with intricate lyrics, solidifying their spot in the indie rock scene. The live performance of “White Sky” reveals how they expertly harnessed their vibrant sound, embodying that youthful exuberance that fans adore. Fun fact: the band’s unique style, often described as preppy or Ivy-League chic, stems from their origins at Columbia University, which really shines through in their playful, eclectic tunes. Interestingly, this performance came just as they were gearing up for even greater success, leading toward their next album, "Modern Vampires of the City," which would further cement their legacy. Talk about a pivotal moment!
