Every time I read something about The Walkmen’s live show, there’s always some mention of how intense these guys are, or how visceral their performances are, or something of that ilk. That’s all well and good for developing a live reputation, but you can’t judge a man (or group of men, as the case may be) by performance intensity. Perhaps The Walkmen like to take it easy offstage, enjoying the simple pleasures of a good mosey. From what I hear, the group is, in fact, moseying on down to the Southeast for the early parts of 2011 to promote their new one on Fat Possum, Lisbon (TMT Review). They will then proceed to seethe with that live intensity you’ve heard so much about.
