The Walkmen celebrated their 10th anniversary as a band Saturday night at a sold out Metro, in the first of a 3 show run commemorating their decade together. (They are playing 2 more anniversary shows in San Francisco next weekend)
The show was divided into two sets and spanned the bands career. Set 1 pulled heavily from their debut Everyone Who Pretended To Like Me Is Gone which has just been released for the first time on vinyl.
The sets were sprinkled with new songs they are working on completing in Seattle for an expected summer release. The new material feels looser and with a harder edge than some of the more refined manicured sounds of their most recent albums.

1. LineBy Line [new song]
2. They’re Winning
3. Wake Up
4. Everyone Who Pretended To Like Me Is Gone
