The Strokes Live Performance of Under Cover Of Darkness at Coachella Festival
At the time of their Coachella 2011 performance, The Strokes were basking in the return to the spotlight with their album "Angles," which had been released just a month earlier. This marked an exciting moment in their career, as it was their first studio album in five years since "First Impressions of Earth" came out in 2006. The band was coming off a bit of a hiatus, and the live rendition of "Under Cover of Darkness" showcased their evolving style while also paying homage to their roots. It's fascinating how their sound had matured yet retained the raw edge that made them icons of the early 2000s rock scene. The energy at Coachella was electric, with fans eager to reconnect with the band that had shaped so much of the indie rock landscape. This performance not only highlighted their comeback but also underscored their significance in the music world, bridging past and present effortlessly.
