Vampire Weekend

Since the release of their rapturously received fifth studio album,Only God Was Above Us (Columbia Records), Vampire Weekend launched their live run under an eclipsed sky in Austin (hailed by Variety as one of the ‘Best Concerts of 2024’), graced stages everywhere from a surprise set at Coachella, a sold out Hollywood Bowl and Red Rocks, as well as amphitheater and arena stops across the country highlighted by a two sold out show stand at the famed Madison Square Garden.

Vampire Weekend continues to treat fans to the inner workings of the band as they release the latest episode of their sensational podcast Vampire Campfire. On the seventh installment of VC Koenig, Baio, and Tomson discuss the year ahead: OGWAU Tour Part 2, festivals old and new, a Frog on the Bass Drum revival, and much more. 2025 will be full of surprises, that’s a promise.

Geese

In the summer of 2021, Geese emerged from out of nowhere, sparking a hype cycle unlike anything that had been seen for a young American rock band in recent memory. Suddenly a band that had previously planned to release some music, break up, and go away to college was touring the world. And during this entire process, that very same band everyone was getting to know ceased to exist.

On a practical level, Geese are still the group we were introduced to in 2021: vocalist Cameron Winter, guitarist Gus Green, guitarist Foster Hudson, bassist Dom DiGesu, and drummer Max Bassin. But spiritually, Geese have returned as an entirely different prospect. Their new album 3D Country is the sound of a restless, adventurous band redefining themselves.
