Angles

That’s the cover art for the new Strokes record, Angles, which is being released on March 22nd via RCA records in the US, and March 21st via Rough Trade Records in the UK. The first single, “Under Cover of Darkness,” which you can easily find for free if you don’t have it already, is now on sale at iTunes.

On March 5th the Strokes are playing Saturday Night Live. The band is also rumored to be playing SXSW in mid-March (not long after they hit Vegas), and they are definitely playing Madison Square Garden in NYC on April 1st, and Coachella that same month, and then the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. In June they’ll hit Bonnaroo.

Tickets for the MSG show go on AmEx presale via Ticketmaster on 2/18 at 9am. After fees they will set you back $68.25 each. As mentioned in the initial announcement, they go “on sale to public” on February 25th. Whether there are any other fan presales remains to be seen.

No official announcement yet on when the LCD Soundsystem Terminal 5 shows are going on sale, though they did mention it would be this week and Friday seems to make sense, but stay tuned. Bonnaroo goes on sale Saturday.

UPDATE: at around 12:30pm. the Strokes’ manager tweeted a picture of the Loew’s Theater in Jersey City where the band apparently is right now filming the video for “Under Cover of Darkness.”

The Strokes are the cover of a new issue of NME. Check that out below…
