Ryan from Wiz Kid Management tells me that the Strokes are working on new material and are in pre-production with a few new songs. Ryan says the guys are taking their time with the writing/recording process and that the new cd could be out Spring 2005 or a little later.

Also, The Strokes have been added to the lineup for Little Steven's International Underground Garage Festival. An offshoot of Little Steven's Underground Garage radio show, the event will be held Aug. 14 at New York's Randall's Island. Iggy and the Stooges, the New York Dolls and Bo Diddley also share the bill with several other bands.

Labels: The Strokes
