The Strokes 'Nervous' About Live Return
- Posted on Feb 11th 2010 4:44AM by Julian Marszalek
It seems that the four-year gap between albums and live action has left the Strokes' drummer Fab Mortetti with more than a case of jitters as he gears up for the New York band's return to the stage at the Rock Ness and Isle of Wight festivals."I'm nervous as hell," he told BBC 6 Music. "It's giving me butterflies in my stomach. To be honest, I haven't really been thinking about the old songs as we're so into recording these new ones.
"It's less the songs themselves and more the response from the band that I miss terribly. I'm excited."
With the band working with producer Joe Chiccarelli on their fourth and as-yet-unnamed album -- slated for a September release -- Moretti conceded that revisiting their old material would take some work.
He said, "We're going to rehearse as soon as we get out of the studio. As soon as we're done recording, we're going to go in and practice all those old songs."
One thing that has cheered the sticksman up is finding out that Fatboy Slim, ex-Stone Roses singer Ian Brown and Mancunian trio Doves have been added to the Rock Ness bill which takes place between Jun. 11 - 13 -- the same weekend as the Isle of Wight Festival.
"I'm excited," he admitted. "That's awesome, Doves are our old pals. I'm going to have a good time saying hello to those guys."

Who are the "Strokes"? This just a promo. My next door neighbor's garage band is coming back. Can I have that put on here too?

You really have never heard of The Strokes? Yes, I'm afraid you're showing your age a bit. Great band and I'm really looking forward to their comeback.

Kitterkatter, Hi! My son(now 33 )asked me a while back if I had ever heard of Greatful Dead, Black Sabbath, Led Zep., Traffic, all the "old" ones, Now I'm really liking Linkon Park, Green Day, so I say Kudos to you for keeping up w/ your 13 yr. old. I'm still in the 60's & 70's! Have a nice night.

Um, well...music is like art, it's subjective, to say the least. There are times when my 13 year old will call me out on some '80's band (i.e. Flock of Seagulls), and I really want to deny that I knew who they were. Can't fool "em when I know all the words. The "Stokes" are classic, but, I'm sure there will be those who disagree....like my 13 year old.

I really wanted to see who the "nervous" rocker was about making a return...I must be showing my age, I've never heard of him, O well, maybe when he returns, I will.
