The Walkmen Perform The Rat Live at Bonnaroo
In June 2011, The Walkmen took the stage at Bonnaroo, delivering a riveting live performance of 'The Rat.' At this point in their career, the band had just released their album 'Lisbon' in 2010, which was met with critical acclaim, showcasing their distinct sound further enriched by influences from 60s rock and contemporary indie. Fans often cite 'The Rat' as one of their standout tracks—a raw and energetic anthem that resonates deeply live. Interestingly, the band's dynamic stage presence and commitment to an organic performance add another layer to their music, drawing the audience in completely. Playing at Bonnaroo, a festival known for its vibrant atmosphere, perfectly suited their vibe, allowing attendees to experience the visceral energy that defines The Walkmen's appeal.
