NewsThe Strokes to take the year offThe Strokes are taking time off and will not release anything in 2007, according to a bulletin posted by the band via MySpace. The band's last album, 'First Impressions Of Earth', came out in January 2006, followed by a period of extensive touring. And according to the post, the group aren't planning any activity until 2008 at the earliest. The message reads: "The band are still enjoying some much needed 'off time'. I wouldn't expect anything to come out this year." "In the meantime, they are staying busy pursuing some other personal interests and are busy working/writing/rehearsing and all those things bands do in between albums. But, there are no immediate plans to release an album or tour for the time being." Some members of the band have been keeping themselves busy - frontman Julian Casablancas performs guest vocals on the new Queens Of The Stone Age album 'Era Vulgaris', while Albert Hammond, Jr.'s solo touring plans include a headline slot on the Carling Stage at this year's Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds festivals. Peter, Bjorn and John invite guests on stage in New York Peter, Bjorn and John, Fujiya & Miyagi and Au Revoir Simone played a sold-out show at Webster Hall in New York City last night (May 1). The show was the latest in a long line of sold-out shows played by the Swedish trio since the release of their album 'Writer's Block'. While the band's debut downtown Manhattan gig in January featured the Concrete's Victoria Bergsman on guest vocals, last night's performance of 'Young Folks' saw an appearance by Heather D'Angelo of opening act Au Revoir Simone. D'Angelo had performed Bergsman's part the previous night in Washington DC. The band also invited Dirty On Purpose drummer Doug Marvin onstage to play bongos on the track. All three acts will continue the tour tonight, with a second show at Webster Hall. The dates are: New York, NY Webster Hall (May 2) Philadelphia, PA Theatre of Living Arts (3) Boston, MA Paradise (4) Montreal, QC Theatre National (5) Wexner Center, Columbus, Ohio (7) Chicago, IL Empty Bottle (8) Minneapolis, MN First Avenue (9) |
