The Walkmen

In the summer of 2000, Walter Martin, Paul Maroon, Matt Barrick, Hamilton Leithauser and Peter Bauer formed the band The Walkmen. Martin, Maroon, and Barrick were originally members of Jonathan Fire Eater, and Leithauser and Bauer joined the band after a period spent with the Recoys. Then, they moved to New York, and, around the spring of 2000, The Walkmen rented some industrial space in Harlem and began to record their first music under their own label Marcata Records. Slightly more than one year later, in the summer of 2001, they released their first EP, simply titled "The Walkmen." Quickly after that, an eight-song vinyl was released. Finally, in March of 2002, The Walkmen released their first album, "Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me is Gone", under Startime International.

Currently, The Walkmen are touring the West Coast.
