Vampire Weekend

On June 16, 2018, Vampire Weekend delivered a captivating performance at the Libbey Bowl in Ojai, shortly after the release of their album 'Modern Vampires of the City' (2013). At this time, the band was basking in the success of their third studio project, which had not only solidified their artistic identity but also garnered critical acclaim. Interestingly, 'Modern Vampires of the City' earned them a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album, showcasing their evolution into a more mature sound that diverged from their earlier, more exuberant work. The live recording features fan favorites like 'Diane Young' and 'Hannah Hunt', highlighting how well their intricate melodies translated to a live setting, which, let's be honest, is where all the magic happens. This performance encapsulated a moment in their career where they were bridging the gap between their past hits and an exciting, introspective future.
