The Walkmen at The Fillmore, from the HAD ArchiveHot on the heels of last year's fantastic You & Me, The Walkmen have put together a host of fall goodies. Specifically, the band managed to record a new live EP, as well as line up a slew of live dates to tide over fans until their next release.
The EP, which is entitled simply Live Session, is in fact exactly that. Despite moving their own Marcata Studios out of Manhattan, the band apparently couldn't resist the temptaton of urban recording. As such, they headed to Electric Ladyland studios and recorded six tunes spanning their catalog. While there's no new material on the EP, The Walkmen's live show certainly is something to behold, so despite it's iTunes exclusivity (ugh) we will indeed be snagging a copy.
That being said, probably the only thing better than a live EP is a live show, and the band has that in store as well: they've lined up a bunch of fall dates, which will take them from East to West, to Europe and back again. In SF that means a final stop at the Treasure Island Festival, while in New York it means two (!) dates this weekend - one at Summerstage, and one at the Guggenheim. Be there.
