Watch The Walkmen wash fans’ cars before final show in Brooklyn
The Walkmen made good on their promise last night (October 17) when they washed fans’ cars before their final show in Brooklyn.The American indie veterans first teased fans with the prospect earlier this year, when they announced the final show of their reunion tour back in July, and told fans that the first 500 to buy tickets would be entered into a draw to have their car washed by the band.“We are not sure on all the details yet, but there is no way this isn’t a great idea,” they wrote at the time.Originally the carwash was scheduled to take place last Friday (October 13), however, this was soon shifted to the morning of the Brooklyn gig, just hours before the members took to the stage at Kings Theater.Kicking off at 10am, Hamilton Leithauser, Walter Martin, Peter Bauer, and Paul Maroon were all present with their buckets, sponges and even matching jumpsuits.
