The band's sophomore album, "Contra", achieved the previously unthinkable feat of scoring number one on the Billboard charts. It was welcome proof that there is, perhaps, a market for Ivy League rock if it's groovy enough.
The opening band is the awesome, Crossfade-approved Baltimore dream-pop duo Beach House, an act unlikely to make it down here on its own any time soon. The Very Best, an unclassifiable Radioclit spinoff act from Malawi/England/France/Sweden, also provides support.
Vampire Weekend will be at The Fillmore at the Jackie Gleason Theatre in Miami Beach, Florida on Wednesday October 13, 2010.
