Everyone’s favorite prepsters Vampire Weekend threatened to levitate the TD Garden off its foundation on Friday night, while touring their latest album Only God Was Above Us. With three different backdrops inspired by the New York City subway system, and a crew dressed as Sand Hogs, the band drilled deeper than ever into their live performance sound, if you pardon the pun. The newest tracks, including “Classical” and “Gen-X Cops” had added texture, thanks to an extra drummer and saxophonist, who also expanded the depth of sound on hits like “A-Punk” and “Diane Young”. Frontman Ezra Koenig kept things light and amusing, telling stories about his love of Cape Cod and reminiscing about their first time playing Boston back in 2007 (something that made us all feel pretty old). The band kept the surprises coming all night with a karaoke encore, where the crowd could request songs at random including the Cheers theme, and the Grateful Dead’s “Ripple”. It was surprising to experience such an intimate jam session inside one of Boston’s largest venues. They were supported by fellow indie rockers Cults.
