The Walkmen - "Angela Surf City" from their album, Lisbon. Live at Governor's Island NYC 8/12/2010. Check out other videos from this show as well as our review at bigasslens.com. From the songs we saw the band play last night and the audio streams that have hit the net, it's clear that they've put together another magical set of songs. Sticking with the openness that defined the arrangements of You and Me, the bass interplay remains perfectly balanced while ace kit man Matt Barrick's signature potent snap continues to impress. And then there's Hamilton's gorgeously full voice - jagged and razor tight enunciations contrast beautifully with his pristine rounded bellow - the perfect narration for this set of songs said to be inspired by time spent in the Portuguese capital.
performed at MusicFest NW, Pioneer Square, Portland, September 12, 2010

Nothing too crazy here, other than the guitarist's love of random strumming. Still, this song is amazing. On a side note, this band was kinda disappointing live. Their sound didn't quite translate right. It didn't help that the crowd was pretty bad. After they left the stage the first time, the crowd stopped cheering almost immediately. A guy backstage had to come out and pump the crowd back up so they could come back for the encore. It was the most embarrassing concert I've ever been to. Still love these guys though. New video coming next Monday, as usual.
Here's a performance of "Angela Surf City" from the Walkmen at a sold out show in Asheville, NC. The video was shot at the Grey Eagle and it was filmed and edited for Mountain Xpress. Enjoy!

2011 might be the year that the Walkmen finally hit the big time. Their latest release "Lisbon" has been lauded by music scribes everywhere (five out of five stars from all the British monthlies) and in the driving garage rocker "Angela Surf City" the band have a track as powerful as the Strokes' "Modern Age", albeit 10 years after that band kicked off the New York garage rock revival. For their Letterman appearance in January the Walkmen played a more subdued song "Juveniles", the leadoff track from their awesome 2010 release. The collaboration between Wanda Jackson and Jack White continues apace with a series of TV appearances to promote "The Party Ain't Over". They played "Funnel of Love" on Conan on January 25th, and "Shakin' All Over" on Letterman on January 20th. As we note in the Vlog, we'd love to see them perform their cover of Dylan's "Thunder On The Mountain" on their next TV slot. Samuel Beam, AKA Iron and Wine, is on bit of a roll this year, with a terrific fourth record and a string of sold out shows across North America. He first played the lovely "Half Moon" on Jimmy Kimmel on January 6th, and the performance was repeated later in the month. This is definitely a record we'll be listening to for a long time. British heavy metal pioneers Motorhead released "The World Is Yours" in January, blasting out the track "Get Back In Line" for a gob smacked audience on Conan on January 26th. The big news in the band's camp of course is the release this February of the <b>...</b>
