Vampire Weekend

Back in May 2010, when Vampire Weekend delivered their energetic live performance of "Run" at the Metro City Concert Club in Perth, they had just released their sophomore album, *Contra*, a few months prior, in January of that year. *Contra* showcased the band's signature blend of indie-pop and world music influences, helping to cement their place in the contemporary music scene. Notably, this album featured hits like "Cousins" and "Horchata," establishing a sound that was both fresh and catchy. Interestingly, the live recording captures a pivotal moment as the band was riding the wave of *Contra's* success and gaining international acclaim. It was during this time that they solidified their reputation for electrifying performances, highlighted by the lively atmosphere at the concert. Fans couldn't get enough of their unique style, blending Ivy League sophistication with global rhythms, making this show not just another gig, but a snapshot of a band on the rise.
