The New Yorkers are to play next years Isle of Wight Festival alongside Jay-Z and Blondie. Now, rumour has it that there are going to be plenty more opportunities to see the writers of NME’s favourite album this decade as they plan a full tour for the late part of next year.
The band members all splintered into their own projects like Nickel Eye, Little Joy and Albert Hammond Jr. and Julian Casablancas’ namesake solo adventure. However, there is now confirmed evidence that the Strokes’ long hibernation may be coming to an end. Bassist Nikolai Fraiture’s spoke publicly surrounding the band entering the studio in January to continue work on their fourth album.
I just hope they can put all their personnel troubles behind them and deliver some music that mad us fall in love with them in the first place.
