Is that the sound of surf guitar and witty lyrics? Then it must be Vampire Weekend.
The quartet played at the man stage Sunday, April 21, to a huge crowd of dancing festival goers.
The show started with a brief orchestrated overture, and quickly went into “Cousins.”
They didn’t mess around with a lot of talk, expect to pitch their upcoming album, “Modern Vampires of the City” out in three weeks.
The set featured a lot of old tracks off of their first album, and four, “Diana Young,” “Unbelievers,” “Step” and one whose name I did not catch.
Here is the complete set list:
Cousins
White Sky
Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa
Diana Young
Step
Holiday
Unbelievers
Apunk, (which got crowd dancing like crazy)
Campus
Oxford Comma
New song I missed the name of

Walcott (At which the band stated, “(We’re) going to leave you with our song about leaving, Cape Cod, tonight.”
