The Walkmen

In November 2007, The Walkmen were riding the wave of their album "Pussy Cats," which had been released just months earlier in April of that year. This album, brimming with raw energy and heartfelt songwriting, showcased their signature blend of garage rock and indie charm. By the time they performed live at The Casbah in San Diego, fans were already buzzing about their evolving sound. Notably, the performance included “No Christmas While I’m Talking,” a fitting choice that highlighted their knack for blending whimsy with more somber themes, reflecting their unique musical storytelling. It's also interesting to note that the band recorded the album and this performance during a time of significant artistic growth, establishing themselves as a powerhouse in the indie rock scene. Their live shows, infused with palpable energy and connection, have always set them apart, and this particular gig perfectly encapsulates that spirit.
