i heard they have no plans for any new albums as their guitarist has just started work on another solo album…

Strokes were awesome in 2002 even though Julian had broken his leg, Albert impressed me last year in the Carling tent, actually liked his sound live more than the album. Hope they do play Leeds again.

Last time Strokes were in UK was Jun 2006 at Trafford Cricket ground, Manchester and FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF EARTH was out before then, I think in April 2006. Saw them 3 times that year. They have kind of disappeared since then, so maybe a new album and tour is on the cards. I hope so! Hope it is Leeds Fest

Yeah i have noticed that they have been really quiet recently. I thought especially after their second album to be honest!

thanks for the comment

evidence on NME.com that The strokes are joining up with part of babyshambles to record a few tracks and are in the process of getting a record label.

I would love to see them play their old stuff to be honest. Especially the first album. That was such a good album. I reckon it pretty much kicked off the whole ‘indie’ movement
