It had been 3 years since legendary rock band The Strokes had played a show. I was lucky enough to see the Strokes at Governor's Ball in 2014. Since I've been a fan of theirs (for more than 10 years), I really think that The Strokes are getting better over time and that is good because I want them to be around for a long time! You get a much bigger atmosphere when there are more people everyone is so excited, but Julian looks so cool and reserved in his leather coat and sunglasses. I've only ever managed to see them with a large crowd, but I have to say it was still really fun. You can tell that their fans really love them and their concerts are always filled with good people.ĭue to the fact that they are so popular they usually play for really large crowds, but if you are very lucky you can catch one of their smaller more intimate performances. They don’t talk to the audience much, and mainly just focus on playing, but they do make some contact with the audience.

I really enjoy watching them play together and I love to see them live. The band works together very well and they just look like they belong together: if you watch Fab Moretti (the drummer), he's always looking up and watching the other players really intensely. Just like Jim Morrison, the lead singer of The Strokes (Julian Casablancas) has an element of shyness to him. I love The Doors and so I love The Strokes. The Strokes are unquestionably one of the best bands out there, and you can really tell that they have been influenced by The Doors.
