The first time these New York Hipsters came to Australia, they dropped into the Triple J studios to perform at the Live at the Wireless.
Playing tracks from their debut LP – Is This It? The Strokes give you a quick look into their live sound from the early days. Its hard to beleive this was recording 8 years ago now, I still remember the success of this album … it was like something I had never heard from a new band at the time.
Hope you enjoy this recording from the Sunky Vault, its up to you … you can can either take it, or leave it, and take it, or leave it, and take it, or leave it! (Oh such a bad pun)

01. The Modern Age
02. Is this it?
03. Barely Legal
04. Soma
05. Someday
06. Alone, Together
07. Last Night
