The Walkmen

In November 2007, when The Walkmen performed live at Bottletree in Birmingham, they were experiencing a peak in their career following the release of their album *A Hundred Miles Off* in 2006. This album featured a shift toward a more polished sound, which refined their distinct indie rock style. During this live recording, the band showcased their energetic performances and unique sound, underscored by their blend of rock and melodic influences. The concert occurred shortly before they began their next album, *You & Me*, released in 2008, which would further solidify their reputation in the indie music scene. An interesting fact about this period is that the band was known for their commitment to live performances, often incorporating improvisations and spontaneous elements into their shows, which likely contributed to the lively atmosphere captured in this particular recording.
