The Walkmen aren't "breaking up," but they're basically not going to be a band anymore.
Speaking with The Washington Post, Peter Bauer said they aren't "officially breaking up," but "we have no future plans whatsoever. I’d call it a pretty extreme hiatus ... It’s been almost 14 years now. I think that’s enough, you know?”
With some of the band members currently working on solo projects, it seems the outfit is just moving in different directions.
“We really just have no idea. I don’t think any of us wanted to write another Walkmen record," Bauer said, noting that the group isn't Maybe that will change down the line, maybe it won’t, maybe we’ll play shows. I think it’s weird to make a hubbub about something if there’s nothing to really make a hubbub about. At the same time, I don’t think we’ve been a gang properly for a long time, so there’s not much to break up, I guess."
As of now, the band's final show is set for Dec. 4 in Philadelphia.
