"Youth is a hell of a thing. The invincibilities and possibilities that we only wish as adults we could recapture. You can get lost in youth, which is what we all did for the years before the band broke big.
The city felt like it was ours and we thought it would be forever.”
The Strokes - The First Ten Years (Hardcover Edition)

This a very, very belated post, but here it goes! #TheStrokesTheFirstTenYears , by Cody Smyth and contributing writers, is a must for any Strokes' fan. It's a great insight into their early history, as both friends and bandmates. Following the timeline of interspersed photos and writings, you can see band and photographer growing, side by side, which is a rare and beautiful opportunity made possible by their deep friendship. I'll definitely be going back to it! ❤️ . I'm glad I could make a combo of sorts reading this and "Meet Me in the Bathroom" back to back. It made some names, places, dates and events feel more familiar. And it kinda kept the 'mood' going, which lessens that just-finished-book feeling. 😅 . . . . . #booklove #bookstagram #bookstagramfeature #bookworm #booklover #booktoday #vscoreads #booknow #instabook #bookcover #bookish #bookquote #quoteoftheday #bookgram #igreads #photographybook #TheStrokesFirst10 #TheStrokes #brushlettering #brushletteringpractice #handwritten

“Of course one of his obsessions has been his friends in that great and durable modern rock band The Strokes. He has photographed them for a number of years and built a varied and substantial collection, probably the most definitive out there.”

Happy Bday Old School! In ‘03 @nikolai_fraiture was still living on the upper east side in his childhood apt. We made plans for me to come over and take some pics. Mostly shot on my dads old 4x5 and a few shots on 35mm. illy sat quietly in the kitchen through out. At the end I snapped a few shots of them together. Like the photos it’s a bit grainy years later, but I still remember this day clearly. Time flies, but the good ones last! #nikolaifraiture #summermoonband #thestrokesthefirsttenyears #thestrokes #codysmyth #film https://www.instagram.com/p/B40ECPUJ_Mw/?igshid=1kazpqd6pxwnp

I always loved these blurry pics I took of the guys on slide film. This was upstairs at 2A one night when it was dead. No one there but us. The only one aware of my camera was Julian...clearly. I started going back into the archive to see what didn’t make the book. Might be time for more throwbacks... #thestrokes #thestrokesthefirsttenyears #fabriziomoretti #nickvalensi #alberthammondjr #nikolaifraiture #juliancasablancas #codysmyth #tbt https://www.instagram.com/acesmyth/p/BuuenPBFK5t/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=149svxwkrwyov
