We recently mentioned The Strokes in our printed issue, saying that the band seemed to be confined into some sort of self-exile mode. Well, we hear that on Wednesday 06.09.2010 the 5 Manhattanites played their first live show since 2006 in a very intimate setting in London. The show apparently didn’t include any new material. The band will play UK festival gigs over the weekend and Lollapalooza in Chicago in August. No news about new records on the horizon, nor about shows in NYC at this stage.
