Vampire Weekend Returns To Red Rocks
With a majestic venue like Red Rocks Amphitheatre right in our backyard, we have seen some epic performances throughout the years. For one I feel artist tend to add to their usual sets by taking it a notch up, and two we have just come to expect it as fans. Brooklyn indie darlings Vampire Weekend strolled in for two back-to-back sold out nights a couple weeks and did not disappoint. Playing for almost two and a half hours Ezra Koenig and company played what seemed like their whole catalog of music. On their recent album Father of The Bride the band takes us on journey almost six years in the making. With a mix of older songs and newer songs off the latest album fans got to witness a complete performance that has spanned since 2006. In fact it was in a small dingy club in Austin, Texas in 2008 that we first fell in love with the band. Since then the band has maintained a charm that is unique to its fan base making them even more popular today than ever.
Some nights the atmosphere plays right into a performance (hence U2 in 1983) such was this night as a perfect October evening complimented one of the more stellar performances of the year. Hopefully we don’t have to wait another six years for the band to come back.
