On Wednesday night, Vampire Weekend served as the musical guest on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. The band continues to tour and appear in support of their latest release, Father of the Bride, which arrived on May 3rd via Columbia Records.
The Ezra Koenig-fronted rock band—comprised of two drummers and three guitarists—offered up a performance of “Sympathy”, off of their recently released LP. Although Koenig held a glimmering Epiphone guitar throughout the performance, the frontman barely played the instrument throughout the band’s late-night television performance.
