Review: The Walkmen
2011 kicked off with ...
The Walkmen , here all the way from the big apple as part of their latest tour of the UK, packed out the building playing to a swaying crowd of satisfied revellers. With a mixture of mellow, almost folkier sounds from their new album, Lisbon, including 'Stranded' and 'Juveniles' with moments of upbeat rhythms with 'Angela Surf City' all of which punctuated with the distinctive voice of front man Hamilton Leithauser. The Walkmen finished with an old favourite, the awesome, roof raising, New York styled; 'The Rat'. Support was provided by Nashiville's latest export, Mona, who are making waves and gathering interest with their energetic stage presence and rock powered “euphoria” playing new favourites including 'Listen to Your Love'. They have just been announced MTV's winner for 'Brand New 2011' – expect to see lots more of these guys in the near future.
