The Strokes

[Mr. Fuzz]

Kanye is going to have a helluva tough act to follow. These guys were loud and crisp at Lolla. They definitely left me wanting more.

[rjadams90]

Yeah, with a new album on the way I'm surprised The Strokes weren't billed as the lone headliner. They are more than deserving of the spot.

[zachyd]

Hopefully someone awesome is playing during Kanye. The idea of following The Strokes up with Kanye just feels so... wrong.

[BeHereNOW]

They all did solo stuff besides Nick.

Julian Casablancas - Julian Casablancas
Albert Hammond Jr. - Albert Hammond Jr.
Nikolai Fraiture - Nickel Eye
Fabrizio Moretti - Little Joy

thanks to these solos now we know who is the best strokey right there

[TallGuyCM]

Yeah, Yours to Keep was a fantastic album as well.

Julian's album was called Phrazes for the Young, just in case you weren't aware.

[citizenerased]

I'm expecting a groovy/chill ass set to vibe to.

It's pretty loud/all out rocking.

[zachyd]

It's pretty loud/all out rocking.

Yep. Not so much a chill vibe as it is a GO CRAZY ITS THE FUCKING STROKES! vibe.

He was just talking about what their solo acts were called.

Oh, my bad.

[rjadams90]

Oh, my bad.

It's all good. I'm just glad to see all this Strokes loves.

No haters yet, like those kanye and kol threads

However, in time.........I know they will come

[rjadams90]

Fab's to cool for school. Smoking while he's drumming. Awesome.

[Romancr]

Love this song! That vid gave me chills!

I'm not a huge fan of his voice. His albums are like strokes stuff without Julian singing and 3 guitarists. Not many bands can pull that off (pearl jam, sometimes)

either way it was something to hold us over.

Little Joy was such a surprise. that has become one of my go-to albums.

Yuck!

[TallGuyCM]

Little Joy was such a surprise. that has become one of my go-to albums.

I never actually listened to that album. Looking into it now.

[JimmyMoore16]

I'm just hoping they play for more than 55 minutes of their alotted 90 minute time. I loved them at Lolla and ACL, but it was too damn short.

This. I made the trip down to Austin to see their pre-ACL show at Stubbs and then caught their headlining set at ACL. Both sets were under an hour. Now, they sounded great while they were playing, but fuck, at least play your full timeslot.

[rjadams90]

It's good man. My fav song from them so far is No Ones Better Sake.

Video is directed by Warren Fu, so you know your in for a treat.



PS yes that's Devendra Banhart on the moraccas, or whatever that instrument is, and Nick Valensi on the drums.

[TallGuyCM]

Thanks dude!

[heart cooks brain]

It's fucking rock music. Be happy he left the coke mirror for 55 minutes.

with new material they will play a full set.

[rjadams90]

Different lyrics? I think so.

[mlant]

We could go and get 40's
Fuck goin to that party
Oh really your folks are away now?
Alright let's go, you convinced me.



It's Saturday night Coachella party people!
Lets do this!

[rjadams90]

[bluemamba]

1. The Modern Age
2. Meet me in the Bathroom
3. Is This It (Wicked bass line)

[OutOfmYminD]

They probably won't be headlining, but I've yet to hear them live and will be happy to see them at coachella.

I really wanted to see them there too, but they were on during Phish so I went and got my hippy on.

[Dread]

they have me by the balls atm
i cant get enough of them

[zachyd]

The way I see it, my personal three headliners this weekend are:

The Chemical Brothers
Arcade Fire
The Strokes


Looks SO much better that way!

[TallGuyCM]

So I keep hearing from people who have read early reviews of the new Strokes' material saying it's their best work since Is This It...

[kneuller]

top 3

1) Automatic stop
2) Hard to Explain
3) 12:51

Cannot wait for this set.
