Vampire Weekend

In July 2012, Vampire Weekend performed 'M79' at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, a vibrant moment during a crucial phase of their career. At this point, they had just released their third studio album, 'Modern Vampires of the City,' a project that showcased their evolution with a more mature sound and deeper lyrical content. While 'M79' is from their self-titled debut album, its performance in 2012 highlights the band's journey from quirky indie rock to a more complex and sophisticated style. The festival was a perfect backdrop, setting the stage for their energetic and engaging performance. Interestingly, this era marked a significant turning point for them, as they began to gain widespread recognition and acclaim, proving they were more than just a college band.
