The Walkmen

The live performance of "The Blue Route" by The Walkmen at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on September 14, 2007, came shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album *Pussy Cats* in June of that year. This period was particularly significant for the band, as they were riding high on the wave of renewed interest thanks to their unique blend of atmospheric rock and vintage sounds. Notably, *Pussy Cats* showcased their ability to craft both poignant ballads and vibrant anthems, further solidifying their identity as one of the defining bands of the early 2000s indie scene. The intimate setting of the Williamsburg venue also resonated with fans, emphasizing the band's connection to Brooklyn's rich musical landscape. It’s fascinating how live recordings like this one capture not just the music, but the raw energy and camaraderie of the moment—perfectly embodying the essence of The Walkmen during that vibrant chapter in their journey.
