Ezra Koenig<\/a> performed a solo medley of songs from Vampire Weekend<\/a>\u2019s most recent album, Father of the Bride<\/em><\/a>, on The Tonight Show<\/a><\/em> <\/em>Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Koenig set up in his home music room \u2014 which was packed with guitars, synthesizers and other equipment \u2014 and performed the makeshift, three-song suite with just piano accompaniment. He opened with the swooning refrain of \u201cFlower Moon\u201d before jumping to the rollicking \u201cStranger,\u201d then closed with a punchy rendition of \u201cBig Blue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vampire Weekend released Father of the Bride<\/em> last May. At the time, it marked their first album since 2013\u2019s Modern Vampires of the City<\/em>, as well as their first without co-founder and multi-instrumentalist Rostam Batmanglij (he still contributed some production to the LP). The record garnered Vampire Weekend a handful of Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year, and the band ultimately took home Best Alternative Music Album<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As of now, Vampire Weekend is scheduled to launch a new leg of their North American tour<\/a> in support of FOTB<\/em> May 28th in Burlington, Vermont. Ongoing concerns about the coronavirus, however, could still lead to those dates being canceled or postponed.<\/p>\n
