The Walkmen

On August 12, 2012, The Walkmen performed 'All Hands and the Cook' live at the La Route du Rock Festival in France, delivering a stirring performance that highlighted their dynamic sound. Leading up to this festival appearance, the band released 'Heaven' in 2012, which marked their return after a four-year hiatus. Interestingly, 'Heaven' showcased a shift in their musical style, featuring a more polished approach, yet still retained the essence of their signature indie rock. The live rendition of 'All Hands and The Cook,' from their earlier album 'A Hundred Miles Off' (2006), hints at a blend of nostalgia and growth, demonstrating how the band evolved while keeping their core identity intact. This performance underscored their enduring presence in the indie music scene, and fans couldn't help but feel that bittersweet sense of connection to their past work.
