hanging with the harlem shakesbelieve the hype... vampire weekend are just as adorable live as they are when spoken about from the mouths of teenage girls. ezra, chris, christopher, and rotsam stopped by miami on part of their summer tour to a packed venue, crammed with people all ages. they played almost every song from their exciting and highly highly hyped debut, mixed with two promising new songs. vampire weekend's enthusiasm was contagious, as every member of the audience was dancing and singing along with them. highlights included 'boston' and 'campus,' easily some of the most danceable songs ever. and of course the crowd went crazy as ezra strummed the opening notes of a-punk, sending a chorus of cheers from hoards of screaming girls, myself included. the short set was closed by of 'walcott,' not one of the best songs on the album, but an incredible performance live. the VW boys were all very modest and undeniably polite, thanking the audience but leaving without an encore. opening for this show was the harlem shakes, a four piece from new york with quirky pop songs. barefooted, spastic and odd, the harlem shakes played catchy tunes to a crowd who most likely did not know what they were hearing. however, 'carpetbaggers,' one of their best, was able to spawn some dancing from a group who was eagerly awaiting the headliner.
