Julian Casablancas, The Cairos @ The Tivoli (06/05/2010)
暖場的澳洲團The Cairos
之前聽他的個人作品，都只停留在專輯的前三首歌。在去這場演唱會前，我很認真的在聽一次這張Phrazes for the Young。甚至還去找了其他的 B-Side歌曲來聽。還有一些 The Strokes 的作品。而且發現，寫歌的 Julian 真的比我想像中的還要有深度。雖然他非常尊重 Oscar Wilde對年輕人的提醒: 「The first duty in life is to be as artificial as possible」。表面上，他的確是個很 artificial 的人。不然怎麼會去幫 Lonely Island 唱那智缺的 Boombox？但在他的歌裡面，可以聽得出他誠懇的那一面。在他那渾然天成的酷外表下面，他是有內涵的。
總之，現場又是另一回事。現場的他，除了酷以外還是酷。沒有甚麼其他非常感動我，或是震撼我的東西。音樂是很棒，Backing Band的表演絕對沒話說。但除了這以外，我真的沒有甚麼特別的。 Julian 只是很酷也很賣力的唱而已。雖然唱了我非常非常喜歡的 The Strokes B-side歌曲 I'll Try Anything Once 可是完全沒有感動。那ㄟ安勒？在兩個月的時間，我還會再看到他一次，同時還有其他四個 The Strokes 的團員。可是我不會抱甚麼希望，因為我早就聽說過了他們的現場不會太有趣。不過還是很期待在現場跟著一起唱每一首我都會唱的歌。

Strokes' Side Projects
From what I just saw, The Strokes have collectively agreed to take a break until February 2009.Ever since last Strokes album, every band members are busy with their own stuffs.
Albert Hammond Jr. has released two studio albums already! He and Agyness Deyn are already engaged! I don't know if that's the reason he ditched the Australia and Japan tour, but he said he got sore throat. Anyway I didn't get to see him even after buying the ticket... sigh.
Drummer, Fabrizio and his friends (one is girlfriend), known as Little Joy recently released their debut album. It's a very nice album, very cute I think.
Bass player, Nikolai also formed his own band, Nickel Eye, featuring people like Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Regina Spektor in the new album. Their albums will be released in Jan 2009.
Lead singer, Julian Casablancas teamed up with Santogold and Pharrell in the new Converse commercial song, My Drive Thru. He still looks cool in this cool video.
Although their side-projects are good but I'm still waiting for the new Strokes album.
