Ezra and the Chandeliers

Cait and I made it to see Vampire Weekend for the second time at The Marquee on April 13. It was a spectacular show, despite the fact that there were idiot teenagers pushing their way through the crowd in giant masses and a creepy, drunk asshole who had to be right next to us for way too long. The opening band was Abe Vigoda, but the lighting of their set really was not conducive for anyone attempting to take a photo. They had a great energy that made me feel like I was a teenager in 1989 listening to a new garage band forming on my street.

As for Vampy Weekend, as Carles likes to refer to them, they were brilliant. The first time they played their self-titled debut album in order, so it was nice to have a mix of favorites from each album. I was able to capture some video of 'M79' and 'Run', my favorite songs on their first and second albums respectively. At times, the videos are unintentionally trippy, but you still able to see how great they are live.

Note: Of course, Vampire Weekend is a band, and not just Ezra and some Chandeliers. You wouldn't know it by the majority of these photos though. Perhaps a slight obsession is revealing itself. Hope you enjoyed.
