Vampire Weekend

In this vibrant live performance from May 9, 2019, at the iHeartRadio Theater in Burbank, Vampire Weekend delivers a dynamic rendition of "Cousins." This track comes from their acclaimed 2010 album, Contra, which marked a pivotal point in the band's career, further establishing their unique blend of indie pop and world music influences. Interestingly, Vampire Weekend's lineup remained surprisingly consistent, featuring Ezra Koenig, Chris Tomson, Chris Baio, and Rostam Batmanglij—each contributing to the group’s distinctive sound. At this time, the group was riding high on the success of their 2019 album, Father of the Bride, which showcased their evolution while still honoring their rich musical roots. The lively atmosphere and the fans’ enthusiasm during the performance reflect the band’s deep connection with their audience—a true hallmark of their enduring appeal.
