♫ The Strokes
The Strokes – Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi, Albert Hammond, Jr., Nikolai Fraiture and Fabrizio Moretti – in the midst of the current madness of readying their upcoming album, each band member freed up some time to talk with us at City Stage in lower Manhattan. Over the course of a couple days, each member of the band touched on their love of music and experiences creating homemade mixtapes. While reminiscing about influences as varied as 80s Metal and Wham!, Frank Sinatra and Pearl Jam, Puccini and Radiohead, each bandmate shared personal memories of creating and sharing music back in their cassette tape days. The first in theTDK Life on Record Chronicles series, The Strokes pay tribute to the mixtape and the music that inspired them. The Strokes plan to release their highly anticipated fourth album in early 2011.
