Vampire Weekend

On July 15, 2012, Vampire Weekend performed live at Union Park in Chicago during the acclaimed Pitchfork Music Festival. This performance featured the song "Unbelievers," which would later appear on their third studio album, "Modern Vampires of the City," released in 2013. The band was in a fascinating phase of their career, having just released their sophomore album, "Contra," in 2010, which solidified their place in the indie rock scene. The live rendition showcased their evolving sound, with intricate melodies and more introspective lyrics reflecting a matured musical identity. Fun fact: this was a time when they were transitioning from their earlier, upbeat sound to a more complex, reflective style, hinting at the thematic depth and sonic experimentation that would characterize their next album!
