The Walkmen

2:30 to 4:30 on Sunday is a dead zone for me. Nothing really sticks out at this point. At 2:30 you've got MONA (U2 wannabes), Airborne Toxic Event (generic rock) and The Walkmen. I'll flip a coin...

The Walkmen have been around awhile and I think they even played ACL a few years ago. Originally from D.C., they met at St. Albans Prep School (Al Gore, Neil Bush, John D. Rockefeller V, etc. You get the picture) but now are in NYC. Their sound is similar to other Northeast bands (Strokes, Real Estate, Interpol, White Rabbits). I listened to "You & Me", one of their recent albums, and liked this song the best.

They're okay, but it may be a good time to cool off in Barton Springs.
