Vampire Weekend

On December 4, 2013, Vampire Weekend performed live at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, showcasing their energetic hit 'A-Punk.' By this time, the band was riding high on the success of their third studio album, 'Modern Vampires of the City,' released earlier that year in May. This album marked a significant turning point for the group, earning them critical acclaim and even a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album in 2014. Their evolving sound reflected more mature themes compared to earlier releases, and tracks like 'Diane Young' and 'Step' further demonstrated their depth and artistry. Interestingly, their live performances during this era were characterized by a blend of crisp musicianship and a spirited connection with the audience, making each song feel like a communal celebration. This concert was part of the 94.7 KNRK December to Remember event, emphasizing their prominent place in contemporary music.
