The Walkmen, School of Seven Bells & Tennis played Terminal 5 (pics, video, setlist & more dates)

December 3, 2010

Crisp pressed shirts, khakis, sport coats, and bulging neck veins (due to vocal exertion) were the order of the evening at Terminal 5 last night (12/2), as The Walkmen headlined the NYC venue.

“The Walkmen deftly tore through a set with singer Hamilton Leithauser playing up the frontman role to a tee. His voice was absolutely fantastic and there are few vocal performances that I’ve seen in recent memory that had me as captivated. Songs like “Canadian Girl” and Lisbon cut “While I Shovel The Snow” were exquisite, and the set closing crowd favorite “The Rat” was very powerful. This was a set I did not want to end, but I can’t say I was angry when it ended before midnight thanks to it being a weeknight. I would go see them again tonight if I could.” [I Have 19 Voices]

School of Seven Bells and Tennis both opened the show.

The Walkmen play a “hometown show” of sorts tonight at the 9:30 Club in Washington DC (the band grew up in the area before moving to NYC), and then call it a day with respect to shows for 2010. The new year means a new batch of dates though. In January Hamilton will belt it out at various venues in the Southeast before heading overseas to bless the UK. All dates are below.

Denver’s Tennis, who will join The Walkmen again in DC, headlined Mercury Lounge the night before Terminal 5. All of their dates are below too.

School of Seven Bells (now a duo, Alejandra Deheza and Benjamin Curtis) will hit the road for a string of dates with Interpol in the new year. And though they are not currently scheduled to open for Interpol at Radio City, no openers have been announced for the NYC show yet, and SoSB do open the shows right before and after that one (so maybe they’ll get added?).
