On Friday, July 10th, rock band Vampire Weekend dropped a new live EP titled Live in Florida because they miss the Sunshine State as much as fans miss concerts.
“Vampire Weekend has had a long and healthy relationship with the Florida music fan, and last summer’s Miami/St. Augustine run was no different,” drummer Chris Tomson said in a statement obtained by Spin. “These shows were a little sticky in the August humidity but I had so much fun playing and the really great crowd vibes always help (especially, but not limited to, Nick from Orlando’s inspired assistance on A-Punk). These shows stayed with me like the pepper sauce from O’Steen’s or a Cubano Doble from Enriqueta’s.”
The EP includes “A-Punk” from its eponymous 2008 debut album, “White Sky” from the 2010 album Contra, and “Sunflower,” “2021” and “How Long?” from the most recent LP Father of the Bride, which bowed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in May 2019. The last edition of the project highlights an introduction from the group’s famed collaborator Nick from Orlando, who’s also featured on “A-Punk.”
