When they played “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa,” singer Ezra Koenig admitted they hadn’t ever played it in Cape Cod, but they’ve played it plenty of times in SoCal.

They were fun and they played hit “A-Punk” midway through the set.

Koenig tried to get people to dance, but told the crowd it was okay to refrain if it was too hot. That didn’t stop people from chanting “Hey! Hey! Hey!” along with the chorus, though.
