Vampire Weekend

On July 13, 2012, Vampire Weekend delivered a vibrant performance of "Horchata" at the Egyptian Room in Indianapolis. This gig came right on the heels of their third studio album, "Modern Vampires of the City," which was released in 2013 and marked a significant evolution in their sound. At this point in their career, the band had already gained considerable acclaim with their earlier albums, notably the self-titled debut and "Contra." The live recording captures the band's ability to blend intricate melodies and clever lyrics, further establishing their unique indie rock identity. Interestingly, "Horchata" is a delightful nod to the band's penchant for merging diverse cultural references, and this performance showcases their growing sophistication and experimentation, setting the stage for the more mature themes explored in their upcoming projects.
