The Walkmen

In February 2008, when The Walkmen performed "Four Provinces" at The Independent in San Francisco, they were riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album "Pussy Cats" released just a year prior. This was a unique project, as it showcased the band’s ability to blend rich storytelling with a raw, indie rock sound, a winning formula that had garnered them a devoted fan base. Interestingly, "Four Provinces" is a standout track that exemplifies their signature blend of spirited melodies and thoughtful lyrics—traits that truly shine in a live setting. By this point in their career, The Walkmen had already solidified their reputation for high-energy performances, making this recording a fantastic capture of their on-stage charisma and emotional intensity. It's captivating to think about how that evening's energy would have electrified the crowd, creating those unforgettable moments that fans cherish.
