Lovely vid to watch. Saw them at Koko in London last week and they were absolutely brilliant - Hamilton Leithauser is clearly living his very best life, and it was amazing to see/hear/experience
Man in the early 2000s their music was a big part of my life. It was such a dark time for pop music, but bands like The Walkmen were a ray of light. Just saw today that they are touring again??!
I remember seeing them in 2004 right up against a small stage and I couldn't get over just how happy Matt was while playing. Just a huge smile the whole time. What an great show that was (I vaguely remember Hamilton having a Jazzmaster).
"This sounds more like a vacuum cleaner" and I start laughing. Then he plays two notes from the vacuum cleaner and I'm tearing within 2 seconds, holy shit.
Wow, does this bring me back... I saw these guys back around 1999 or 2000 when they played at Luna Lounge on Ludlow Street in NYC. I think it was during the CMJ Convention at that time.
I found them 10 yrs ago on a live show on KCRW...Or maybe I heard we've been had first then saw their kcrq show. I like a few of their songs and the kcrw show seemed to feature all of them. It was off the Heaven album. What's the song Hamilton whistles in?❤❤❤❤
I have lost SO many guitars due to some crap guitar techs in NYC...I have also saved some "dead amps" via some NYC techs. All back in the 2000's. Moral of the story: send your stuff out of state (NY state).
Sorry, sorry sorry.....we used to open up for the Walkmen in the early 2000's....the drummer....OH MY GAWD, that drummer. He would beat the drums like they were step-children. He would beat them like Steven Drowd was a "sissiy" (in the 90's). You were always worried that a drum would fall off it's stand or just explode. It was honestly half of the magic...great tunes and/or a bomb on the verge of explosion. PS:: saturated spring reverb is still the way to go...just my 2 cents.
They need to record a new album. They’re too good to go on long hiatus.

You & Me is one of my favorite albums ever. Packed with amazing 50's/60's era sounding tunes.

What a a band, what a voice.
Just started listening to the band after a 10 year break and this pops up! So cool, thanks.
Saw them Fri night at Metro and the show was so good I unexpectedly went Saturday night too! Love these guys
Full Fender line up absolutely love it
G-Dammit I love these dudes. So nice to see them back at it and clearly having a good time!
I want to know about their use of tape machines on the early stuff! I always loved the manipulated sounds of the piano on tracks like Stop Talking
Man, I love you guys so much! Please add an Orlando stop to your tour!! 🙏 I’m sure your families want to visit the theme parks. 😂
Barrick is such a great drummer
Best drummer in the business.

I know that laugh. Nice work Jim Tuerk.

On the Water!
Would Matt's converted marching snare to floor tom be a 12x17?
Matt Barrick is a legend!!!

i wanna know if skylar or robin has the jazzmaster
I think they use the Jazzmaster in the KEXP live session....
someone would've had to stop me from tearing my friends head off if I was the owner of that rickenbacker
I'm having a Mandela moment. Didn't the bassist and keys player switch?
they did, I think between Bows + Arrows and A Hundred Miles Off. When I saw them in April they switched back and forth depending on the song.
jesus and mary chain snare is that big
so much negativity here…. ???? why??
Gary does suck.
haha, right?
a band of Larry davids
First
Tell us you're 11 years old, at least....mentally, without actually telling us. 🙄
@@revolutionday1 comin from a dude named Terry hesticles? Keep walkin !
I hope SONY sues the absolute brakes offa' these clowns.
We find The Walkmen guilty of being one of the most talented and underrated bands on earth
I don’t ever remember a Sony Walkmen.
Yeah man. Way to root for multinational billionaire tech corporations. Some bootlicker nonsense.
