Vampire Weekend

In this live performance of "Harmony Hall" at KCRW, Vampire Weekend showcases their evolution during a pivotal moment in their career. This recording took place on May 31, 2019, just after the release of their album "Father of the Bride." This album marked a significant chapter for the band as it was their first without founding member Rostam Batmanglij, and after a six-year hiatus. The album is rich with collaborations, featuring notable names like Jenny Lewis, Steve Lacy, and Danielle Haim, which adds a fresh, diverse sound. When it premiered, "Father of the Bride" was received with open arms, becoming a cultural touchstone that reflected the band's mature sound and lyrical depth. The performance at Village Studios echoes this reinvention, making it a special moment for both the band and their fans.
