The Walkmen: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@EmmaRoydsared]

It's a crime these guys never made it big. And so sadly missed. Much love from the UK.

[@willisobama]

Your taste is absolutely impeccable

[@willisobama]

That sounded slightly sarcastic I promise it wasn’t😂😂

[@brianeharmonjr]

Definitely check out Hamilton Leithauser's solo stuff if you haven't

[@mikadoescontent]

well my friend i have good news for you

[@rikkcampos6]

@@mikadoescontent ohhh babbbby

[@Karltron2000]

Got here by looking at what the least watched Tiny Desk concert was and even the least watched one is a gem. These guys deserve more attention.

[@andrewcattini1151]

Love his voice. Discovered them on release of The Rat, which totally blew me away. Heaven and Heartbreaker are absolute classics. Also love his solo cover of Mr Tambourine Man.

[@dnlvrlls]

7 years later and this is still one of my favorite Tiny Desk Concerts, miss these guys, I can only wonder what songs they still have to release, hopefully we will see then again some day

[@donkeybus]

They are baaaaaaaack!!!

[@IsssaKnife]

@@donkeybus and they are great as ever! saw them over the weekend

[@dylpano23]

could listen to this man sing all day

[@ryanpetti7452]

Just saw theses guys in Chicago in may. Thanks for the reunion we never thought it would happen! So much talent and im grateful to have experienced them in the flesh

[@jjj7054]

I was at one of their chicago shows too, incredible performance.

[@Sebastiannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

This version of 'We can't be beat' sounds amazing !

[@Ben_Mdws]

Saw Hamilton L supporting Spoon at a London gig a couple of years back. He sang the whole set A Capella. It was f’ing amazing.

[@burnlastsunday]

Dream show.

[@TheAgatabb]

Such a sublime experience their music is.

[@WCWfanboy]

Hell yeah Agata B!

[@sirfredrickeggenhauser2795]

Ugh my favorite band that i discovered too late! ! :'''(

[@LeeEvansIsAwesome]

Hamilton Leithauser is still making music that sounds similar, and they're just on an amicable hiatus doing other things. I'm sure they'll be back.

[@chinaphone]

Never too late to discover a great band. They're so good.

[@sirfredrickeggenhauser2795]

Lee Evans true, I actually have a whole playlist of Hamilton Leithauser, he’s great!

[@gcam420]

It’s ok atleast you didn’t just discover them like me

[@nustyiv616]

Too*

[@camarillomorelosclaraisabe3253]

They are incredible, they are admirable, I found in them a pleasure and a magic that makes life beautiful. They make life a little bit lighter, their songs are like the beauty you find in the sky, in the flowers, in the peace I am very grateful to have found them

[@paupau2488]

Siento mucha nostalgia con la primera canción........ Un nudo en la garganta

[@jasso.183]

@00:00 Heaven @04:40 We Can't Be Beat @09:41 Love Is Luck Also, update : The Walkmen are back together!!!!! So we can all enjoy them live again 😌✨️

[@matthewarcher7398]

I have seen so many bands live I stumbled upon the Walkmen at a festival in the earlish 2000’s and I can say without a doubt the singer of this band was one of the most amazing singers I have ever seen live. He projected amazingly and such a sweet clean tone. Not sure if that’s how he sounded always live (I only saw them live one other time and he was good) but that one time at the festival it blew my mind. Like he could’ve been on American idol or something.

[@davidmiranda7937]

I've seen them ten million times and yes Hamilton always sings his heart out.

[@matheusrogerio7185]

every night I put this to listen till I get sleep, it brings me peace, tnks the walkmen

[@albuzz8]

nice to see Andy Bernard finally got his big break

[@burnlastsunday]

All he needed was instruments!

[@AnassEljondy]

I came across this just by chance, and I gotta say WOAAAH!!!!

[@indiecalms]

These guys have such a classic sound! This is music I will be proud to share with my daughter as she grows up.

[@slinkisking]

every time get the chills when i listen to heaven because it gives me flashbacks to HIMYM

[@matheusrogerio7185]

YESSSSSS

[@willisobama]

Everyone watching this video has good taste I’m blown away people of culture yo😭

[@ivan_alexander11]

[@sejoguelmi947]

Se escucha demasiado precioso está interpretación...! Lo que trasmite Hamilton cuando canta es increíble..!

[@kazimierzgarshin3924]

They definitely listened to the Feelies the Good Earth. Love their sound.

[@EmB7CG]

I hope things turned around after posting this comment, you are the perfect combination of quantum matter to be occupying the amount of space that you are currently displacing in this exact moment in time - the universe wouldn't be the same without you, thank you for existing!

[@happy.holiday.1905]

This make me happy and sad at the same time. Love The Walkmen!! "We can't be beat" is the best song I've ever heard. What a journey.

[@strangeandforeignca]

Such an underrated band

[@commanderstargazer686]

Powerful voice

[@alexleahy2398]

Bob Boilen, you have the greatest job in the world. I envy you so very much. This is my dream right here.

[@rayargyle8788]

holds up wonderfully

[@davidmancero]

wow that song really touching my heart...

[@BOGLEYKID]

He sounds just like he does on the album here.

[@jessicap9491]

I love their sound, its simple and plain but very beautiful. :)

[@ApriliaRacer14]

The guys are brilliant! Just heard them....been under a rock myself.

[@TheZicky94]

His vibrato is beautiful.

[@thenoid1093]

Best live band ever...when they were in horn phase they came to Cleveland with no horn section and just plucked some local guys. The background horns were magical

[@Ben_Mdws]

What a band.

[@IanPhillipsWildlife]

Oh Yes

[@volrath45]

Thanks, can't un-see it now.

[@davidbowra4389]

I've been listening to The Walkmen alot lately. I can't find a song I don't like from them. Sorry I never caught them live.

[@1917VIL]

Mid 2000's...trip from San Diego to LA w/ my girlfriend. Randomly went to the Queen Mary to see some music. Suddenly, this band is playing "thinking of a dream I had..." Loved them ever since! The Casbah in S.D. and the Belly Up in Solana Beach were both wonderful to witness.

[@bengalatiger]

@@1917VIL Belly Up! The best venue!!!

[@jacksmith-ks3pz]

You really missed out. They are all still very active. Im guessing there will be another tour at some point down the line. To my knowledge they are just on an “indefinite hiatus.” We can all hope🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

[@LeoNoorValdez]

Heaven is just heaven!

[@5k33k]

Since I couldn't find it anywhere else, here's who is performing Hamilton Leithauser - Vocals/Guitar Matt Barrick - Percussion Paul Maroon - Guitar Walter Martin - Bass

[@robpallot5058]

Great band. Great songs. However, sadly, not their best performances here... But, I'll definitely keep followin' them, cause when they hit it, they really hit it!

[@TonicLime1]

'05 best show ever...The WALKMEN.

[@EnggistKhan]

Might be cuz I’ve been drinking on a Oslo layover .. but this might be the best thing ever

[@charliemorgan1366]

Didn't expect to find such a recent comment lol. Best band ever!

[@EmB7CG]

I like that you defend what you care about, thats noble. Despite the group concensus according to the comments, I know you're a good person.

[@GabrielCervi]

Jesus, its only one mic recording everything?? Fantastic sound quality!! I'm amazed!!

[@matheusrogerio7185]

8 years, have you ever come back here?

[@EmB7CG]

I didn't understand how to read that at first glance but I get it now! You taught me to persevere, I like that about you.

[@dissenttime]

wow, fantastic recording. The room yielded some nice sounds.

喜欢~

[@wolfy138]

one of the tightest bands (was).

[@ragerats3144]

Agreed (was) I hate that I can't see them live, since they haven't toured forever. I accidentally bought "everyone who pretended to like me is gone" through a BMG deal. I never heard of them or even cared, but the CD was practically free. After sitting on my dresser for a few months, I decided to open it and listen to it. I listened to it a million times. It was the only CD I ever memorized every lyric to every song. this had to be 15 years ago

[@winkmurder]

Rage Rats There are no such things as accidents 😉

[@Dangermoose-rv6bb]

but there is definitely such a thing as bunkum

[@ghostrid3]

[@OldGruetzgesicht]

Doesn't everybody, though?

[@burnlastsunday]

Really? He's always sounded like Bob Dylan to me.

@@burnlastsunday Dylan wouldnt sing a note from Hamilton

[@ratpimples]

i hear a bit of johnny cash in some of their songs...

[@ripelivejam]

Wonder why they broke up. Guessing Hamilton's eye candy was too distracting from the rest of the band and music. *shrug*

[@kindkidbk]

they are just on hiatus :’) hamilton and paul are still making music together !!!

[@FINN-xm9is]

This is real music now we just have stuff like justin beiber
