The Strokes

In January 2006, The Strokes were surging through a pivotal phase in their career, following the release of their critically acclaimed album "First Impressions of Earth" in January 2006, just days before the live recording featured on "Later... with Jools Holland." This album represented a significant evolution in their sound, showcasing experimentation beyond their garage rock roots while retaining their signature energy. The performance of "Last Nite," one of their most iconic tracks from the debut album "Is This It," highlighted their earlier success and enduring appeal. This appearance marked a moment where they were reconciling their past hits with new material, demonstrating their stature in the rock scene after a few years of meteoric rise. A noteworthy aspect of this performance is that it captured the band's return to the spotlight following a brief hiatus from live performances, emphasizing their commitment to a dynamic present and future in the music industry.
