Vampire Weekend

By June 2014, Vampire Weekend was riding high on the success of their third studio album, 'Modern Vampires of the City,' which had been released less than a month earlier. This album marked a pivotal shift in their sound, showcasing a more mature and introspective approach compared to their earlier work. Not only did 'Modern Vampires of the City' receive critical acclaim, but it also won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 2014. Performing 'Step' live at the Governors Ball, the band captivated their audience with a blend of intricate melodies and deep, reflective lyrics, creating an unforgettable moment. Interestingly, this festival appearance was part of a broader resurgence for the band, re-establishing them as a formidable force in the indie scene after taking a brief hiatus following their previous album. Their energetic yet poignant delivery during the live recording highlights their growth and evolution as artists.
