Vampire Weekend

In the live recording of "Young Lion" on May 2, 2017, Vampire Weekend took the stage at the iconic 930 Club in Washington, DC. This performance marked a significant moment, as it was the very first time the track had ever been played live. 'Young Lion' is a poignant piece from their critically acclaimed third album, 'Modern Vampires of the City,' which was released in 2013. This album showcased the band’s evolution, blending complex themes and lush instrumentation, further cementing their place in the indie rock pantheon. Interestingly, by 2017, the band was on a hiatus, which made this performance even more special for fans, offering a rare glimpse of their artistry and a nostalgic nod to their introspective sound that had changed the landscape of modern music.
