Video of the Day: The Strokes “Taken for a Fool” – Live on The Late Show with David Letterman – March 23, 2011


Last nite (No pun intended) The Strokes headed over to The Late Show with David Letterman to perform yet another song from Angles (BMG), that was just released this week. The guys were in full form and seemed to be enjoying themselves again, which is a good sign for the band and fans involved. They had gotten quite a cheering roar from the crowd, which makes us wonder how much bigger the new found “Strokes Mania,” will get. There is no stopping them now, right? We hope so.

Fans Riot for The Strokes at SXSW


What happens when you tell all of SXSW in Austin that The Strokes are playing a free show? Well 30,000 people show up and riot and break down the gates when you don’t let them in. It was a peaceful riot where no one seemed to get hurt. Hell, they just wanted to see The Strokes. When did this happen? Strokes riots? Selling out Madison Square Garden’s 20,000 seats? Congratulations fellas, you are bigger than The Beatles. We are loving it.
