Vampire Weekend hadn’t performed in Indianapolis since their stop at the Egyptian Room back in 2012. Now on tour in support of their 2019 album Father of the Bride, Vampire Weekend performed for a sold-out audience at the Farm Bureau Insurance Lawn this past weekend along with the Los Angeles based Chicano Batman.

The beautiful evening was kicked off with Chicano Batman taking the stage. Their soulful West Coast psychedelia was on full display with their performance of “Freedom is Free” from the self-titled release in 2017.

After a brief set break, Vampire Weekend hit the stage full force with a jammed out version “Sunflower” with Ezra Koenig and Brian Robert Jones dueling back and forth on guitar riffs. It set the tone for a more rock vibe setlist throughout the night.

Their performance included a hand full of covers including a nod to “Parks and Recreation” as the band looped in the television’s theme song seamlessly within “M79.” The tribute to the show’s fictional Pawnee, Indiana and possibly cast member and Koenig’s real-life partner Rashida Jones was a perfectly executed.

Hopefully, after a night of such brilliant musical experimentation and fun, we won’t have to wait another seven years before the band comes back to Indianapolis. Make sure to catch them if they are in your city this summer. For more ticket information click here https://www.vampireweekend.com

Wilco Wants You to Join Them at Solid Sound for Live Karaoke

Wilco’s music festival Solid Sound will be on the grounds of MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts from, June 28th to the 30th. The lineup features Courtney Barnett, two sets with Tortoise, The Feelies, and many more including two sets with Wilco.

Friday night the band has always tried to do something special with their first performance. Once it was an entire set of audience-selected covers. Recently they played the whole double album Being There, and for an encore, they played Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

This year the boys are having a contest for five to ten lucky winners to have a chance to perform with Wilco as their backing band.

Jeff Tweedy stated, “Ever wish karaoke bars had more Wilco? Do they have any? I don’t really know. But I do know that they don’t have enough songs about existential dread and self-loathing,” said Jeff Tweedy in a statement. “Sound fun? Please join us onstage so we can get Solid Sound 2019 started with some outsourced belters from the Wilco songbook. Let’s do this!”

To enter the contest, all you have to do is share a video on Instagram or YouTube with the hashtag #WilcoKaraoke of yourself performing a song that you wish to play with Wilco. Winners will perform one song with the band, get a meet and greet and rehearsal with the group, two 3-day passes to Solid Sound 2019, and an official festival artist gift bag.
