Strokes Announce New Single, More U.S. Dates

Kati Llewellyn reports:
Call your local radio station! Stand in Times Square with a fluorescent magic-markered sign! Spam the chat rooms! 'Cause it's time for a new Strokes single.

On March 13, Rough Trade will release "Heart in a Cage" in the UK, where you will be able to buy it in actual stores. But here in the States, where singles just kind of appear out of thin air, you can either click wheel over to track three of the band's latest album, First Impressions of Earth, or you can catch the Sam Bayer-directed music video when it premieres this Friday, February 17, on music.yahoo.com. Unless YouTube gets to it first.

The Strokes finish up their UK tour this week, and promise to return to Europe this summer for a run through the festival circuit. The gang recently added several more dates to their US tour, which kicks off March 1.

Happy Stroking:

I'm gonna f***n' stab you!!!! Not really, but that's what I got last time they played Universal... this time they had that lame "quick-pick" deal, not cool. I got 2nd row on the upper orchestra section, which is the section right behind yours.

If I don't gain weight by then, you can come sneak down to my area. In any case my sidekick may be sneaking into the pit, so the seat next to me may be available...

The Strokes Pay Tribute to Joey Ramone, Add Dates

Kati Llewellyn reports:
After the Strokes' dental insurance turned down their current tour's application for braces, Julian Casablancas and crew decided to fill in the gaps themselves.

The newly added gigs fall between May 19 and June 11, and will kick off with a tribute concert for the late Joey Ramone at New York's Irving Plaza. Also performing are the Dead Boys, Andy Shernoff (the Dictators), and Cheetah Chrome, and the show takes place on what would have been Joey's 55th birthday.
