The Strokes played Coachella on Sunday night and thankfully for those of us who couldn’t be there it was streamed live on You Tube (oddly in black and white like their recent Fallon performance). Julian was on top form in terms of banter and whilst the quality of the video aren’t that great you still get a feel for the hour long show

The Strokes played what sounded like an epic concert at Madison Square Garden. Not only was the set list amazing but Elvis Costello joined them for Taken For A Fool, Albert played keyboards on Games, they played songs like Ask Me Anything which I thought we might not hear again. Judging from the fan reports it was an amazing show worthy of such an legendary and massive venue.

I am still shaking from listening to this, I’ve waited 5 years for new Strokes material at times I never thought it was coming but now it has its glorious. Julian’s voice, the guitars, the harmonies the lyrics, everything makes me so proud to call myself a Strokes fan. So so proud.
