The Walkmen

In February 2008, The Walkmen were riding high on the success of their album *Pussy Cats*, released in 2006, which is a gem in their discography that featured a raw, stripped-down sound. Just a couple of years later, they were performing live at The Independent in San Francisco, a venue that perfectly matched their energetic style and intimate vibe. This concert, recorded just after they released *You & Me* in 2008, showcases the band as they embraced a more mature sound while still delivering their trademark energy. It’s interesting to note that this live performance captures the essence of their evolution—a blend of urbanity and nostalgia wrapped up in rich guitar riffs and heartfelt lyrics. The setlist, including tracks like "In the New Year," highlights how they connect with their audience, making each show feel like a shared experience rather than just a performance. What a fantastic moment in their career!
