New York band the Walkmen played a sold-out show at the Bell House in Brooklyn on Thursday, April 1, mixing in some new tunes with a healthy dose of material from their previous five records. Dressed in their normal business-casual, the five-piece band were augmented with a four-person brass section at times. They were in top-notch form, and delighted the crowd to the point that no one even cared that they didn’t play their most well-know song, “The Rat.” Oldies included “In the New Year,” “We’ve Been Had,” and “Little House of Savages.”

Opener Flashy Python is the new band from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah frontman Alec Ounsworth, who, along with his band, seems to have adopted a mid-70′s sense of fashion, complete with bell-bottomed three-piece suits and awful mustaches. While the band stuck mostly to Ounsworth’s new material, they did sprinkle in a few CYHSY songs, including a suped-up electric organ version of ”Upon This Tidal Wave Of Young Blood.”
