The Strokes

         The Strokes are headlining the 2016 Governors Ball Music Festival which takes place Friday, June 3 at New York City's Randall's Island Park. Dedicated fans everywhere are frantically typing in their credit card numbers so they can guarantee a spot in the vicinity of the punk rock veterans — Julian Casablancas with lead vocals, Albert Hammond and Nick Valensi on guitar, and finally Fabrizio Moretti on drums.
         This is a band whose albums are a necessity for every high schooler, who hates doing their homework but still needs to do it. Their music will emulate what you feel but can't quite express at the moment, willful rebelliousness.
         In 1999, they made their live debut at the Spiral. By word of mouth, they rose to punk stardom, they were booked at venues like Under the Acme and Lower East Side Clubs like Baby Jupiter, and Arlene. It was their album The Modern Age that won them a following so loyal, that fans would trample each other to get as close to the band as possible.
         In 2014, they made a comeback after three years of not playing at Governor's Ball. In those three years, Julian Casablancas worked on music with his other band Julian Casablancas and the Voids on his own label Cult Records. Fortunately, The Strokes are currently working on new music together and plan on playing them together in June.
          This is not an event to miss as there will be lawn games to play, restaurants for dining, sloppy foods to devour, and art installations to marvel at!
