The Walkmen

In August 2012, The Walkmen delivered a high-energy performance of their iconic track 'The Rat' at the Barby Club in Tel Aviv. This live recording came shortly after the release of their album 'Heaven,' which debuted in June 2012 and showcased the band's mature sound, marked by lush instrumentation and introspective lyrics. In this period, The Walkmen were already recognized for their distinctive blend of rock and indie elements, gaining significant critical acclaim. Interestingly, 'The Rat' remained a fan favorite and was a staple in their live performances, reflecting the band's roots while still connecting with newer material. The performance may have had some sound issues, but the raw energy and passion of the band shone through, capturing the essence of their live presence.
