The Walkmen Stroll Into 2008 With Live Dates
Photo by Natalie Kardos
The Walkmen, as their name would suggest, are males of action. And so, having primarily busied themselves of late with work on their follow-up to last year's one-two punch-- which their website claims should be done by year's end, with a release in the spring-- Ham and company have lined up a brief January tour to stave off boredom and stretch those legs proper-like. Busy: it's the only way they know.
That album might come a little faster than expected now that the band's scheduled appearance at the Corona Music Fest December 1 is off, pending rescheduling. It appears the Corona folks failed to consider the disruptive nature of all the hot soccer action going on in Mexico City that weekend and have moved the event to a TBD date in spring 2008.
Still good to go, barring an infestation of cartoon alligators: Langerado Festival, where the band will perform in early March.
