[DID NOT ATTEND: September 15-18, 2025] Vampire Weekend / Sophisticuffs
I was so satisfied to have finally seen Vampire Weekend this year. And then they announced FOUR NIGHTS at the Wellmont. A theater that is relatively close to me and which I would have loved to see them at.
And somehow, in four nights, we couldn’t make a single show!
The 15th we were going to Wet Leg, the 16th we were going to Garbage, the 17th I was going to Pup, and the 18th was just no workable. Sigh. When will that happen again? I can’t imagine.
I don’t know Sophisticuffs and then I found out that the Sophisticuffs is a collaboration of Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend, Wes Miles from Ra Ra Riot, Dan Millar and Andrei Padlowski. While in high school in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, the band created an album titled, “Factory,” and passed it to students around campus. Though not widely known, A Sophisticuffs track was used in the 2002 film, “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.”
Knowing this makes it even more fun and silly and now I had really wished we had been able to go. They hadn’t played in 23 years.
