The Strokes Play First Shows Since 2011

The Strokes are live again for the first time since 2011.

In 2013 the NYC band released their fifth album ‘Comeback Machine’ but did not tour it. Prior to the two shows they are done in the past two weeks, The Strokes had not plated live since Brazil on November 5, 2011.

The shows marked the live debut for the two of the three ‘Comeback Machine’ songs although Albert Hammond Jr was including ‘One Way Trigger’ in his solo shows earlier in May.

The Strokes played a low-key gig at Port Chester in New York on May 31 and then performed a full set for the Governors Ball on Randall’s Island on Saturday night (June 7, 2014).

The band played at 6:45pm, before headliner Jack White.
