Happy 45 To Voice/Face JULIAN CASABLANCAS Of THE STROKES

JULIAN FERNANDO CASABLANCAS was born on 23 August 1978 in New York City.

Happy 45 to the voice/face/songwriter of rock idols THE STROKES who started making arousing hullabaloo back in 2001 with their debut LP Is This It? proving that manic songs with manic guitars still make you millions of fans. Of course, a cute-charismatic frontman helps.

I picked these 2 stellar strokes to
celebrate Casablancas‘ birthday.

– HARD TO EXPLAIN –

From that ace debut album.
Striking live version.

– ODE TO THE MEDS –

One of the best power ballads ever.
Already played this diamond 1 million times.
From their most recent LP The New Abnormal (2020).
Casablancas vocal performance is superb.

Julian Casablancas, the voice/face of The Strokes
returns with his side band THE VOIDZ.

So far they recorded/released 2 albums,
Tiranny (2014) and Virtue (2018)

They have a new single out, titled PROPHECY OF THE DRAGON.
More new music and tour dates to follow.

The band about the song.

“The track started with a very simple question… what would it feel like if God whispered into your ear “you are my most magnificent creature”. What would that feeling sound like? What would its bassline be? With that, Beardo blew The Voidz conch shell, and we assembled from the various corners of the earth to which we had been summoned for previous quests. From the deserts of the Sahara, to the truck stops of the midwest – we reunited in California to answer this question. the response?

…from the fiery bones of eternity, the dragon’s voice, awakened after millennia in waiting, spewed forth a sonic fist of impertinence in the shape of a New Pirate anthem, where nothing
is what it seems, nor is it otherwise.”

TUTV: Prophecy Of The Dragon is a flabbergasting metallic stunner. It goes forth
and back, left and right, slow and fast as if Casablancas and his misfits put several
snippets of several songs together and puzzled them into one stupendous stroke
of a track. Blimey.

Listen up.

Also st(r)eaming on Spotify.
