Frontman Ezra Koenig is known for his quirky vocals and skillful mastery of his guitar.

Vampire Weekend played a slew of hits during their short set at the Austin Convention Center Radio Day Stage

Though only playing half of their allotted time, Vampire Weekend played their indie pop-filled hits such as “Cousins” and “Holiday.”

The outcome of such song choices left the audience engaged and fulfilled in hearing the popular songs.

The energy in the room was electric. As the steady beat of the drum sounded, the crowd danced and clapped along as if in harmony with one another.  

The band offered their full energy into the set which was felt throughout the room. The indie-pop band impressed all at Radio Day Stage leaving the audience wanting more.

Fortunately, the band played a longer more impressive set at Stubb’s only two days later.  The larger venue and greater amount of time let the band show off some songs from their upcoming album “Vampires of the City” which is set to release May 7.
