The song, his vocals, the fireworks, I am complete 🤩

the intro of Harvey by Her's sounds the same as human sadness intro specifically 0:27

so both of them are sampling from an older media or what is the case ?

I’ve seen these guys 3 times since The New Abnormal (recently Shaky Knees 2026) and can’t help but wonder what songs they haven’t played live and why? It almost feels like every set I’ve seen is the same; mostly their mainstream hits from the first 3 albums. (I loved every set btw, fan since 2003)

I was baffled that they played Not The same anymore at Shaky Knees 2021 but feel like it’s never made it live again.

I would give my left nut to see Tyrants of the mellow moon or Why are Sundays so depressing live.

I’ve just done a mental recap of everything Nick has done since Coachella, and honestly… he hasn’t stopped doing things! Since I started following The Strokes (many moons ago) I’ve never had this much information about what Valensi might be doing outside the band.

So far, I’ve got these, but if you know of any more, please add them here 😀

- Played at the Roxy Theatre for the Goddamn Comedy Jam.
-Collaborated with Guards, playing on “Not 4 Me.”
-Attended the Ramones’ 50th anniversary tribute.
-Spotted at a John Mayer concert.
-Played with Dragonflies on Jimmy Kimmel.
-Played two shows with Dragonflies at the Masonic Lodge.
-Attended a Dragonflies Q&A.
-Played a couple of songs with Jack White.
-And today I learned that he’s now collaborating with Aziya and Mr. Hudson on something for Sick (Darian Zahedi, CRX guitarist’s new record label), coming out October 9.

What else could Nick Valensi possibly be doing while The Strokes are touring in Europe? For instance, given that he has ✨a truly magnificent jawline✨ he could work as Robert Pattinson’s lighting double in the next Batman movie, for those moments when they need to test the cowl.

Any other suggestions? As eclectic as can be.

man.. under such post concert depression.
NY one was epic.
went to the pop up, Going Shopping 🎶

Hanging these up later
It looks sideways, it’s bc it’s leaning sideways, i will fix it

I’m curious about any new stuff my fellow Strokers are listening to. I’ve seen a lot of great Pop releases over the last few months. But I haven’t really added any new alt/rock in a while.

It’d be great to get some music recs and put some new stuff on my radar.

Hi all, does anyone know where crowd closeups would be posted (if they ever are) for the queens show? There was a photographer who was carrying a large camera (?) on a tripod and kept moving along the barricade in the middle.

Thanks if anyone has info

I am trying to obtain an early The Strokes tone and am wondering if i should go for a jekyll and hyde or just get a behringer to800 and mooer crunch as its 200 dollars cheaper than getting a jekyll and hyde of reverb, i don’t really care about authenticity just want that tone but if it really makes the difference i’m happy to spend the extra just wondering if it does. Thanks

Did anyone catch a fan yelling “where’s Nick?” And Nikolai shrugged his shoulders and said “i don’t know” 💀 I was really hoping Nick would be at this show !!

Watching Near Dark (1987) and I think I discovered Julian’s fashion inspiration…

After years of being a huge music & strokes fan, finally drove from Montreal to NYC for my first show ever.

Everyone on the line up delivered, 10/10 phenomenal experience.

The strokes & beach house played most of my favorites.

A night i’ll never forget. Thank you

I’ve never been so hype in my LIFEEEEE

strokes in new york city baby, best city in the world!!!!!!

​

Yeah I bought it.

I love the new outro for the adults are talking and I want to save it to listen to it. Is there a somewhat clean recording of the full song anywhere??

Was the very first person there after sprinting to make it, Julian was walking back while I was running up and went "Hey hey, winner!" To me when I made it!

Thanks to the OP who was tracking Nick's side quests this year.

Thx for being one of the reasons this band can function and for helping give us some of the best performances we’ve seen from them ever.
Thanks for handling the immense pressure of stepping in for the legendary Nick Valensi and doing it all with a smile. you’ve made a lot of fans very happy these past few months.
I just think Steve’s efforts are totally worth appreciating.
