NYC’s The Walkmen have just released a smattering of tour dates that brings them to our fine city sometime in October. One band I have yet to see live, and the Parish should be a fine setting for our first encounter. The band has the most recent recordingYou and Me slated for “official” release next week, but you can purchase the album for $5 now @ Amie Street with all sales collected there going to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in honor of Luca Vasallo. That’s pretty awesome.
