You can't argue with the way they've honed their sound, both on record and live. At least I can't.

I guess that's 37K x 9Yrs x 4 students=$1,332,000 well spent.


How rock and roll is a band if four of the five members went to a prep school with an annual tuition of 37K?  ;D

they strike me as more professional and careerist than most bands, which is just fine by me.

Their set was really loud, but I had earplugs.  I liked them.  but, I also really like their latest album and it was a treat to hear "Baby Missles" live. 

They're actually one of my favorite bands, but they seem to always have sound problems...

I bought one of their first couple of albums and it wasn't bad but I really don't like bob dylan and the walkman are sort of a bob dylan rip-off band so I guess I shouldn't like them either.

Tracyanne: I probably don't listen to as much music as people assume I do.

Lloyd: Have you heard The Walkmen? The Walkmen are my favorite rock band.

Tracyanne: I've got a few of their CDs. I'm pretty sure we played a few festivals with them. I do like them.
