Vampire Weekend is a two-time Grammy-winning alternative rock band currently composed of frontman Ezra Koenig, bassist Chris Baio and drummer Chris Tomson. Emerging from the mid-aughts indie rock scene in New York City out of Columbia University, Vampire Weekend released their self-titled debut to immediate critical and commercial success in 2008, with the album debuting at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 and its breakout single "A-Punk" earning an RIAA platinum certification. The band's 2010 follow-up Contra confirmed their ascent after debuting atop the Billboard 200, while the single "Cousins" became their first song to hit the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. The band's 2013's effort Modern Vampires of the City similarly topped the Billboard 200 and garnered the band's first Grammy Award. 2019's Father of the Bride became their third album to debut at No. 1, and the album's high watermark came from lead single "Harmony Hall," which reached a career-best No. 5 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. The album netted the band its second Grammy, and Vampire Weekend's 2019 North American tour saw the band perform some of their biggest shows to date, including Madison Square Garden in New York.
