Vampire Weekend‘s tour supporting their new album Only God Was Above Us is about to hit their NYC birthplace for two shows at Madison Square Garden this weekend, but first they made another surprise stop in NYC. Yesterday afternoon (10/3), they played a pop-up show outside of Despot’s Canal St bar Time Again, the same place that Clipse played a surprise set earlier this year. Check out some footage:
