The Strokes Bring NYC to DC at Landmark Music Festival 2015
Few bands have the pride of New York City bands. It takes a lot to make it in a town that’s as dirty as it is expensive: Everything comes from a very particular kind of ambition. In NYC, there’s no such thing as apathy...which means when a band is backed by the city, it’s really backed.
At some point in the last decade and some change, the Strokes managed to find themselves on the right end of NYC’s passion. Alongside alongside groups like Interpol, they became what we now know as the quintessential New York band. They wrote massive pop-leaning rock tunes filtered through a love of UK music that continues to inform generations of young people. During their headlining set at the first annual Landmark Music Festival, it became clear why.
