Few bands boast the closeness of the Walkmen: featuring former members of the Recoys and Jonathan Fire*Eater, the five-piece coalition has existed in one form or other since its members were fifth graders. In recent years their U2- and the Cure-influenced rockage has catapulted the band from humble Pub gigs to world tours. These days, their bittersweet, rough-around-the-edges garage-rock taps into an often somber tone, laying organ and piano over lyrics pondering the age-old question of what might have been. Tonight they hit town in support of their new album, You & Me.
