By Johnny Firecloud

Vampire Weekend have reached a new level of live performance, as evidenced by their terrific set last weekend at the New Orleans Jazz Fest. Though the arrangements of their album Modern Vampires of the City are still rather sparse, they make their debut LP look downright elementary. Opener “Diane Young” gave the group room to further explore their sound in a breakdown that led them straight into the crowdpleasers.  Check out our full recap right here, and a full Vampire Weekend gallery below!
