The Walkmen @ Schuba’s (Chicago, IL) 1/20/08

I had planned my weekend trip to Chicago, specifically Schuba’s Bar for “Tomorrow Never Knows 2008”, a weekend-long event featuring artists such as John Vanderslice, Bobby Conn, Cloud Cult, Illinois, White Rabbits, as well as The Walkmen, who would headline on Sunday the 20th. I’ve heard that The Walkmen never fail to put on a great performance, so this would be the show I couldn’t afford to miss. I’ve been a fan of The Walkmen for some time now, and had heard beforehand that they’d be showcasing some new songs from their upcoming album. Catching some of the other bands on the bill would be icing on the cake.
