the walkmen
 
they're one of the better live bands you'll ever see.

what are your thoughts? and yeah, they were on the oc years back, and yeah, they're great.

I saw them live once. They were opening and this guy walked up to me and said "did some guy just come out and say some stuff on the mic?" and I replied "yeah" and then he walked right up to the drums. When I saw them I thought they were OK, but nothing special. I talked to some of them after and they were pretty nice guys.

I do like their "hit"

btw, where have you been Jade?

schizophrenicroom 03.16.2008 12:38 AM

floating around. i got really busy with school.

i think i really liked them because it's a very small venue where they came through (the thing sold out and there couldn't have been more than 90 people), with great sound. plus, they played my request and i was standing up front dancing and chatting with them between songs.

my mom got drunk and hit on them. that made it even better.

how have you been?

Alright. You know, so-so. Still completely at a loss for what to do with myself.

Yeah, they do seem very friendly.

Liked The Rat when I hear it when but it got annoying after a while.

really like the A Hundred Miles Off album, thats got some amazing drumming on it. Its the only thing i've heard, but i saw them ages ago supporting Idlewild, thought they were pretty good

not the biggest fan, but i saw them ages ago and met them after the show, really nice people.

jimbrim 03.16.2008 12:15 PM

come to think of it, has anyone heard jonathan fire eater? a few of the members were in that band before they formed the walkmen. i own a 7" of theirs and it's pretty good.

like one song by them, that's it.
