The Strokes

On July 8, 2006, The Strokes performed live at the Oxegen Festival in Ireland, bringing their signature sound to a roaring crowd. This show took place right in the wake of their third studio album, 'First Impressions of Earth,' which had come out earlier that January. This album was a significant moment in their career, marking a departure from their earlier garage rock style and exploring more polished production. The lyrical themes in 'First Impressions' revealed a band evolving—some even say they were maturing, though fans had varied reactions. Interestingly, the band faced some internal strife around this time, grappling with creative differences. Their performance at Oxegen showcased the electricity they’re known for, reminding everyone why they were considered the torchbearers of the early 2000s rock revival.
