I don\u2019t think any of us wanted to write another Walkmen record. Maybe that will change down the line, maybe it won\u2019t, maybe we\u2019ll play shows. I think it\u2019s weird to make a hubbub about something if there\u2019s nothing to really make a hubbub about. At the same time, I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve been a gang properly for a long time, so there\u2019s not much to break up, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.. interesting. Do I detect a certain sourness to his tone? Why do bands feel the need to label an obvious breakup with the term &#8220;hiatus&#8221;? Wouldn&#8217;t it make more sense to just say, &#8220;hey, we&#8217;re not going to be making music for awhile until we need a paycheck&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>You can catch the band&#8217;s last show for a while, or possibly ever, on December 4th in Philadelphia at Union Transfer.<\/p>\n<p>For more details, please check out this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/express\/wp\/2013\/11\/27\/this-could-be-the-last-time\/\" data-lasso-id=\"177\" data-old-href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/express\/wp\/2013\/11\/27\/this-could-be-the-last-time\/\" data-old- rel=\"noopener\">article.<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D.C. indie rockers The Walkmen have announced an indefinite hiatus set to begin after their last show next week.
