Vampire Weekend dips into some TV Nostalgia during Performance in Indiana

On Friday, June 7th, Vampire Weekend whipped out a cover of the theme song to beloved NBC sitcom Park and Recreation during their stop at Farm Bureau Insurance Lawn at White River State Park in Indianapolis.

The band is currently on tour in support of their No. 1 album, Father of the Bride.

The surprise moment went down as part of a jam of Vampire Weekend’s 2008 song “M79.” Parks and Rec takes place in the fictional city of Pawnee in Indiana, and stars Ezra Koenig’s partner, Rashida Jones, as Ann Perkins.
