Vampire Weekend

In August 2013, Vampire Weekend was riding high on the success of their third album, "Modern Vampires of the City," which had been released just a few months earlier in May. This album marked a creative evolution for the band, exploring more complex themes and lush arrangements while still retaining their signature sound. Their performance of "A-Punk" at the Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco showcased their vibrant energy and the anticipation surrounding their return to the city after a long hiatus. Ezra Koenig's remark, "It's been a really long time since we played San Francisco," reminded fans of the band's enduring connection with their audience. The live atmosphere, with the backdrop of Golden Gate Park, perfectly complemented the upbeat and catchy vibes of "A-Punk," a track that helped propel Vampire Weekend into the indie rock spotlight.
