Vampire Weekend have been touring a lot lately. Way before Ezra Koenig was in that band, though, he had a short-lived experimental band in high school called the Sophisticuffs, which also happened to feature future Ra Ra Riot frontman Wes Miles. Vampire Weekend played New Jersey’s Wellmont Theater last night, and the Sophisticuffs — who got their start in that state, despite VW’s heavy Columbia affiliation — opened the show with their original lineup, including Koenig and Miles. It was their first show in over 20 years.
