The Walkmen class up a Plaza parking garage at Standard Style’s rooftop fashion show
I have no way of knowing what the promoters of last night’s Standard Style rooftop fashion show paid the Walkmen to come perform, but for the band to fly to the middle of the country and play a set on top of an outdoor shopping mall, it must have been a rather attractive offer. (Especially considering they’ve got a show in Lawrence in a matter of weeks.) So hats off to whoever made that happen.
Still, going in it was tough to know what to expect out of the evening. Would the band pull a Big Boi and sip bottle service all night and then play one or two half-assed songs? Or would we get a proper set of classy, despairing New York City indie rock?
