The Walkmen

In September 2010, when The Walkmen delivered their electrifying performance of "We've Been Had" at The Clubhouse in Tempe, they were riding high on the success of their latest album, "Lisbon," which had been released the year prior. This album marked a significant moment in their evolution, blending their signature indie rock sound with more textured melodies and intricate arrangements, reflecting a maturation in their artistry. Interestingly, "Lisbon" was recorded in a run-down church in the city that inspired its namesake, showcasing the band’s dedication to capturing raw, authentic sounds. This live recording not only encapsulated the energy of their performances but also highlighted their tight-knit chemistry as a band, which had strengthened over more than a decade of making music together. It’s a beautiful snapshot of an indie rock band fully embracing their craft and connecting with fans in an intimate setting.
