The Walkmen
The Walkmen perform Wake Up live at Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona
The Walkmen were riding a wave of momentum during their live performance at the Primavera Sound Festival 2011, held in Barcelona. This came shortly after the release of their fifth studio album, "Lisbon," which dropped in 2010 and showcased a matured sound and introspective lyrics. The festival gig, where they performed "Wake Up," was a testament to their evolving artistry, blending their indie rock roots with a more refined, melodic approach. An interesting tidbit: the band's dynamic and energetic presence really shone through as they brought the immersive atmosphere of their live performance to life, engaging the audience in a way that only The Walkmen know how to do. They had just settled on their sound, and it felt like this set was a celebration of their growth and connection with fans.
