The Walkmen will launch more than a month’s worth of North American tour dates May 24, the day after releasing their third album, A Hundred Miles Off.
The tour begins at home in New York City at Webster Hall. The group will stay on the road for five weeks, stopping for two shows at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall June 12-13 and finishing in Boston June 29.
The five-piece – comprising Hamilton Leithauser, Paul Maroon, Matt Barrick, Pete Bauer and Walter Martin – will hit Coachella and the U.K. prior to the tour.
To spice things up a bit in the live department, a couple members recently decided to pull a little switcheroo, according to the band’s official Web site.
“In the past, Martin would play the organ and Maroon would play either piano or guitar; now, Bauer plays primarily piano and organs, as well as gourd and lap steel. Barrick remains behind the drums.”
