The Walkmen

During their electrifying performance at Bonnaroo in June 2011, The Walkmen immersed fans in the raw energy of their live sound, spotlighting the pivotal track "The Rat." By this time, the band had just released their album "Lisbon" in 2010, which received widespread acclaim for its introspective lyrics and rich instrumentation. This was a significant moment in their career, bridging the gap between their earlier work and their evolving sound, as they embraced a more refined, mature style while still retaining their distinct vigor. Interestingly, Bonnaroo marked a key milestone as it was one of the first summer festivals where they showcased tracks from "Lisbon," allowing them to connect with a larger audience and foster a deeper appreciation for their music. Captured at a festival known for its eclectic lineup, this performance not only highlighted their growing popularity but also exemplified the vibrant indie rock scene of the early 2000s.
