Albert Hammond Jr played Brooklyn Steel, brought out Hinds (pics, setlist)

The just-released Francis Trouble is arguably the best solo record Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. has made since his first. It sounds like he’s having fun on this one and he was certainly having fun when his tour hit Brooklyn Steel on Wednesday (3/28)). Part of that could be that Hinds, who were his tourmates up until just a couple shows ago, were watching and dancing from the side of the stage for some of the show. They joined him for main set closer “In Transit,” and did a little stage diving, too. AHJr came back four a four-song encore that included a cover of Guided by Voices’ “Postal Blowfish.”

Pictures from Brooklyn Steel are in the gallery above and setlist is below.

Albert’s Strokes bandmate Julian Casablancas just released a new Voidz record today and will bring the band to NYC for a residency in June.
