In January 2023, The Walkmen reunited to perform live on "The Late Show" at the Ed Sullivan Theater, marking their first performance together in a decade. This notable appearance came after a long hiatus following their last studio album, "Heaven," released in 2012. "The Rat," a standout track from their acclaimed 2004 album "Bows and Arrows," was the centerpiece of their reunion performance, highlighting the group's enduring popularity and the deep connection fans have with their music. The Walkmen, known for their distinctive sound that blends elements of rock and art pop, garnered a loyal following over the years, and this performance not only revitalized interest in their past work but also delighted long-time fans eager to see the band reassemble. The reunion illustrates the lasting impact of their music and the special bond they share as collaborators.
