Vampire Weekend

On April 28, 2013, Vampire Weekend premiered "Obvious Bicycle" during a concert at New York's Roseland Ballroom, in conjunction with their new album, "Modern Vampires of the City." This performance marked an exciting moment, capturing the band at a pivotal point in their career, venturing deeper into intricate lyrical themes and experimental sounds. Before this live recording, their previous album, "Contra," had established them as indie rock darlings, but with "Modern Vampires of the City," they sought to showcase a more mature and reflective side, steering away from their earlier, more upbeat vibes. Interestingly, this show was part of Amex Unstaged, blending live music with an innovative digital experience, highlighting how Vampire Weekend was not just riding the indie wave but shaping how music was experienced in the digital age.
