The Walkmen

In September 2010, when The Walkmen performed "Woe Is Me" live at the KEXP studio, they were riding high on the release of their album "Lisbon," which came out earlier that same year. "Lisbon" was well-received and showcased the band's evolving sound, incorporating elements of experimentation while maintaining their signature indie rock aesthetic. The live recording at KEXP not only provided a platform to highlight their new material but also demonstrated their energetic performance style, which has been a hallmark of their career. An interesting fact about The Walkmen is that they have been known for their distinctive approach to music, often emphasizing raw, live instrumentation over studio polish, which likely contributed to the vibrant atmosphere captured in the KEXP recording.
