The Strokes

In the live performance of "Juicebox" recorded on November 30, 2004, The Strokes were riding the wave of their evolving sound, having just released their third studio album, 'First Impressions of Earth,' in January 2006. This album marked a significant shift for the band, as they experimented with a more polished production style, parting ways with their raw garage rock roots. Interestingly, 'Juicebox' was the lead single from this album and showcased a more aggressive approach, blending catchy hooks with a darker tone. Around this time, the band was also experiencing a surge in popularity, not just in the indie scene but also in mainstream circles, making their live shows highly anticipated events. This performance at London University is a snapshot of that exciting transitional phase, capturing the energy and buzz that surrounded the band as they crafted their next chapter.
