Big Thief unveiled their brand new song “Vampire Empire” during a Tuesday night appearance on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The band has been playing the song on their ongoing tour, and while a studio version does not yet exist, they “couldn’t wait until they got to the [Late Show] to give wider audiences a sneak peek.” Watch the replay below.
Big Thief are wrapping up their US tour with two New York City shows this week. Next month, they’ll kick off a run of shows in the UK and Europe, before returning to the US this summer for concerts with Lucinda Williams and Bill Callahan. Tickets to the band’s upcoming tour dates are available here.
Big Thief are touring in support of their 2022 album Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You.
