Be still my joyous, beating heart! The Strokes are returning in 2009! For three weeks the information has quietly idled on the rockers Web site. Realizing the looming question in some people's minds, the band posted this:

I don't remember writing about The Strokes on this site before, actually I don't remember writing or talking about them at all in the past year, after they decided to fuck things up with FIOE -which in my opinion SUCKED-, and it's sad 'cuz they were my favorite band for so long, well not so long, but they were my favorites for the longest amount of time, and when they decided to get married, make babies, take a hiatus, and leave me with a broken heart, Bright Eyes came wit...

Now, this doesn't make any sense. For all those anticipating the 7.4.7 release of Michael Bay's Transformers, you've definitely seen lead man Shia LaBeouf sporting a Strokes T-shirt in the explosion-friendly previews. So, you'd think a Strokes song would at least make the Transformers soundtrack, right? Not quite. The Strokes got gypped! Think more along the lines of a bomb-trigger happy set list our boys in Iraq would be spinning on their iPods. A new track from the Sma... MORE
A: The guys will be back in time for early 2009.
This is what was posted on The Strokes' website. So hopefully we will get a return.
I'm sure you all already know but Albert's new project is set to come out in July so I think that should hold us fans over until the return.

In an interview in February 2007, Nikolai talked about his favorite books and authors with www.foundinthemargins.com. An excerpt: "Reading 'Public Opinion' was one of those catalytic moments in my adolescent life when I was forced to question everything I had been taught and the way it was taught to me. I had had a few vague notions of how I was affected by my environment, but this book really crystallized them into my day-to-day." Read entire interview here: http://w... MORE
