The Walkmen

In the vibrant landscape of indie rock, The Walkmen were riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album "Pusse," which was released in late 2006. By the time they took the stage at The Independent in San Francisco on February 27, 2008, they were promoting their 2008 album, "You & Me,” which was well-received, adding a layer of depth to their already intricate sound. It’s interesting to note that this performance captured their energetic live essence—something that fans cherished about their shows. Known for their raw and emotional performances, the band was at a pivotal time in their journey; the transition to "You & Me" marked a more introspective lyricism that resonated deeply with their audience. So, watching them perform "They're Winning," you can really feel the momentum building, embodying both their reflective growth and their infectious vigor as musicians.
