I went to see Vampire Weekend this evening. A good show! They’re a young band, so they don’t have a lot of songs to play, so the set was a bit short, but it was entertaining all the same. The band for the most part seemed to be having fun, even if there were a few hiccups along the way, like flubbed notes, and a guitar strap deciding to part company from the guitar it was supposed to be supporting.
The support act – an Australian band by the name of Sparkadia – were also quite good, even if when they came out, there was probably barely 50 people in the venue. Still, they played some good, high-energy songs, so I might keep an eye on what they’re doing.
I took my new camera along too, and took some truly awful shots. The ISO boost the camera was using was a wee bit too much, so most of the shots are horribly noisy. Most look like there were taken on my mobile! Stipply water-colour impressions.
Here’s one of the (slightly) better ones though.
Still, it was a good gig, and that’s the main thing!
