More than 400 people packed The Cellar Door on Monday night to see New York indie band Vampire Weekend. It was a show that sold out in minutes.

Vampire Weekend mixed songs from its 2008 self-titled debut and its upcoming sophomore release, "Contra." The set was about 60% old material and 40% new. The band members were pretty tame on stage -- a definite contrast to the Cage the Elephant show on Sunday night -- but they sounded good and worked up a good rapport with the crowd. Opening act The Growlers did a good job of winning over the crowd too.

Now here are some videos:

Day Three of our awesome concert trifecta is tonight in downtown Visalia, where Vampire Weekend is playing The Cellar Door. Sorry to inform you all that the tickets are long gone. So if you don't already have them, we're sorry -- but we did warn ya. It should be a great show, these guys' music is so catchy and I'm guessing it's going to translate into a fun show. I'll do my best to come back to Fresno with some video/pics for you guys.


Below you'll find some other stuff to do tonight, plus all the happenings for the week ahead. Enjoy:

Vampire Weekend, one of the hottest indie rock bands of 2008, will play The Cellar Door in Visalia on Nov. 9.

Tickets go on sale at noon on Friday via TicketWeb and cost $20.

Promoter Aaron Gomes of Sound N Vision -- who deserves another pat on the back for landing this -- expects tickets to sell real fast.

"This'll sell out in less than five minutes," he says. "I've been told that there are some very special surprises lined up."

A note for Vampire Weekend fans: The band debuted a new track, titled "Horchata," today on their site. The band's sophomore album, "Contra," is due in January.

That first part of November is looking nice concert-wise: Little Dragon is coming back on Nov. 5. Jay-Z is Nov. 7. And now this on Nov. 9.
