The Walkmen

In April 2007, when The Walkmen performed live at the Echoplex in Los Angeles, they were riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album, *Pushover*, released earlier that same year. This album showcased the band's signature sound—raw energy, jangly guitars, and poignant lyrics—which resonated with audiences and critics alike. Interestingly, this live performance came at a time when the band was solidifying their reputation as a dynamic live act, known for their high-octane shows and charismatic stage presence. Sharing the stage with bands like Foreign Born and Magic Bullets that night, The Walkmen's set would have been a part of a vibrant local music scene that fostered camaraderie among artists. It's worth noting that their live recordings often capture an infectious energy that can sometimes differ from their polished studio work, offering fans a glimpse of the raw emotion that defines their sound.
