The Walkmen will be making a rare apperance in Memphis on Tuesday night at the Hi Tone. Their 2004 release Bows and Arrows was one of the most critically acclaimed records of that year and the explosive single "The Rat" was number 5 on the Lover's Top 20 singles of 2004 show. I have a friend that would listen to "The Rat" each morning on his way to work just to get ready for the day ahead. He really could have picked any number of songs from The Walkmen to get that same feeling.
Opening for The Walkmen is Richard Swift whose albums The Novelist and Walking Without Effort have both been reissued on Secretly Canadian. I really enjoy Swift's sound and look foward to seeing how it all translates to a live audience.
