Hamilton Leithauser on The Walkmen’s upcoming shows: “I’m excited. I don’t know what we’re gonna sound like”
The Walkmen frontman Hamilton Leithauser has spoken to NME about his soon-to-be-released fifth solo album, the band’s heyday as portrayed in oral history Meet Me In The Bathroom, and what lead to the band reuniting.Before taking the stage for his residency at Manhattan’s Café Carlyle last month, Leithauser told us about the year ahead.Last November, The Walkmen announced they would perform for the first time in nearly a decade with a string of shows at New York City’s Webster Hall, set to run later this month from April 24-28. The shows mark a reunion for the band, who just a year after their last album release, 2012’s ‘Heaven’, went on an “extreme hiatus” according to what bassist Peter Bauer told the Washington Post at the time.
