ʻO The Strokes kahi hui pōhaku ʻAmelika i hoʻokumu ʻia e nā hoa kula kiʻekiʻe. Ua manaʻo ʻia kā lākou hui ʻo kekahi o nā hui mele kaulana loa i kōkua i ke ola hou ʻana o ka hale kaʻa a me ka pōhaku indie.
ʻO ka holomua o nā kāne e pili ana i kā lākou hoʻoholo a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa mau. Ua hakakā kekahi mau lepili no ka hui, no ka mea, i kēlā manawa i ʻike ʻia kā lākou hana ʻaʻole wale e ka lehulehu, akā e nā mea hoʻohewa.
ʻO nā hana mua i ka honua mele ʻo The Strokes
ʻEkolu mau kāne ʻo Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi a me Fabrizio Moretti i aʻo ma ke kula hoʻokahi, a hele pū i nā papa. Mahalo i nā makemake maʻamau, hui pū nā mea hoʻokani mele e hiki mai ana a hoʻoholo e hoʻonohonoho i kā lākou hui ponoʻī ma 1997.
Ma hope iki, ua hoʻohui ʻia kā lākou ʻekolu e kekahi hoa ʻē aʻe, ʻo Nikolai Freythur, ka mea i lawe i ka hana bassist. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua kono ʻia nā kāne e pāʻani me lākou i ka hui o Albert Hammond Jr. Ua neʻe mai nei ʻo ia i ʻAmelika a ua ʻoliʻoli ʻo ia i kēia hāʻawi.
I loko o nā makahiki ʻelua e hiki mai ana, ua hoʻomaʻamaʻa ikaika ka hui, ua manaʻo nā mea hoʻokani a nānā i ka hopena. ʻAʻole i pau kā lākou aʻo ʻana i ka pō. ʻAʻole i makehewa kēia hana, ua hoʻomaka ka The Strokes e ʻike ʻia a kono ʻia e hoʻokani ma nā hui pōhaku kūloko.
'aha mele mua a me ka 'ike
ʻO ka ʻaha mele hoʻoholo mua loa i hāʻawi ʻia e ka hui ma 1999 ma kahi hui liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi. Ma hope koke iho, ua loaʻa iā ia ka manaʻo o nā mea hana a me ka lehulehu.
He mea nui ia, ʻo ka mea hana kaulana ʻo Ryan Gentles i haʻalele i kāna hana ma ka hui e kōkua i nā poʻe e holomua i ka ʻoihana mele. Ua ʻike ʻo ia i ka mana nui i loko o lākou a ʻaʻole hiki ke hele i nā mea mele novice. Ma hope iki, ua hui nā kāne o ka hui i kahi mea hana ʻē aʻe, ʻo Gordon Rafael, ka mea i makemake i ka hui a me kā lākou hana.
Ua hoʻopaʻa pū ʻo The Strokes me ia i kahi demo o kā lākou album "The Modern Age", nona nā mele he ʻumikumamāhā. Ua lanakila nui kēia album i ka hui. Hoʻomaka ka ʻike ʻia o nā mea komo ma ke alanui a kono ʻia i nā kiʻi kiʻi. No kā lākou hana he kaua ma waena o nā lepili. Ua makemake nā kānaka a pau e loaʻa i nā mea hoʻokani pila paʻakikī a hana pū me lākou.
Album hou "O keia anei"
I ka makahiki 2001, e hoʻokuʻu ana ka The Strokes i kā lākou album hou "Is This It", akā ua hoʻoholo ka lepili a lākou i hana ai e hoʻopanee i kēia hanana. ʻO ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo, aia ma ka uhi kahi kiʻi o ka lima o ke kāne ma ke kua ʻōlohelohe o kahi kaikamahine. Eia kekahi, ua makaʻu ʻia ʻo RCA no ka ʻike o nā mele, i hūnā i nā laina inflammatory ma hope o ka hakakā politika ma ka ʻāina.
Ua hoʻololi ka lepili i ka uhi album a kāpae i kekahi mau mele mai ka papa inoa album. ʻOiai ua lohi iki ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana, ʻike mau ka album i ka mālamalama a loaʻa ka ʻike.
Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o kēia album, ua hele ʻo The Strokes i ka huakaʻi ma nā ʻāina nui a pau. I ko lākou huakaʻi huakaʻi, ua paʻi kiʻi lākou i kahi palapala hōʻike pōkole e pili ana i kā lākou huakaʻi, kahi i hauʻoli nui ai ka poʻe pā.
ʻO ka manawa ma hope mai ka makahiki 2002 i ke ola o ka hui he mea ikaika loa. Hoʻokomo ka hui i nā hōʻike like ʻole, nā ʻoliʻoli, nā kiʻi paʻi kiʻi a hāʻawi i nā ʻahamele e like me nā malihini i kono ʻia. I loko o kēia manawa, ʻaʻole hoʻopaʻa nā lālā i nā album.
ʻO ka wā huaʻai Strokes
I ka makahiki 2003, hā'awi nā kāne i nā 'aha mele ma Iapana, kahi i lilo ai lākou i po'e lanakila ma nā 'ano he nui. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻoholo ka The Strokes e hoʻokuʻu i kahi album ola "Live in London", akā ʻaʻole i hana ʻia kēia hanana ma muli o ka maikaʻi ʻole o ke kani.
I ka makahiki 2005, aia kekahi o nā mele o ka hui ma ka 10 o nā mele hoʻokahi a ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea pā pōhaku. Hoʻomaka kā lākou mau mele ma ka lekiō. Ke hoʻolālā nei ʻo The Strokes e hoʻokuʻu i kahi album hou, akā naʻe, ma muli o ka lele ʻana o kekahi mele ma ka pūnaewele, ua hoʻihoʻi ʻia ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album "First Impressions of Earth" ma Kelemānia. Ua loaʻa iā ia nā loiloi like ʻole mai nā mea pā.
I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, hāʻawi hou ʻo The Strokes i nā ʻaha mele nui ma nā kūlanakauhale o ʻAmelika. A i ka makahiki 2006 hele ka hui i ka huakaʻi ma ʻEulopa, kahi e hāʻawi ai lākou i nā ʻaha mele he 18.
I ka makahiki 2009, ua komo hou nā kāne i ka hana ma kā lākou album hou "Angles". ʻOkoʻa kēia album mai nā mea ʻē aʻe i kākau ʻia e nā kāne a pau o ka hui, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻōlelo ʻia e pili ana i nā haku mele mua.
I kēia makahiki hoʻi, ua hana ka hui i kā lākou pūnaewele. Mahalo i kēia hanana, hiki i nā poʻe ke heluhelu i nā ʻike hoihoi e pili ana i ke ola o kā lākou hui mele mele punahele, hauʻoli i kā lākou mele a haʻalele i nā makemake pumehana. Ua hoʻopiha ʻia ʻo 2013 i nā hana huahua a me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka album hou "Comedown Machine".
E hōʻike nei i ka manaʻo
Ma 2016, ua komo nā kāne i nā ʻaha mele nui, a me kekahi mau hōʻike ma nā ʻāina he nui. ʻEkolu makahiki ma hope mai, hāʻawi ʻo The Strokes i kahi ʻahamele ma kahi hōʻike aloha. Ma hope o kekahi mau mahina, hoʻolaha lākou i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kahi album studio hou.
I ka makahiki 2020, ua hoʻokani ka hui ma kekahi o nā hui politika. I kēia makahiki hoʻi, ua hoʻokuʻu nā kāne i kā lākou album studio ʻeono "The New Abnormal" a kākau i ke kani kani no ka moʻo.
ʻO ka Strokes he hui hoʻomana o nā manawa a pau. ʻAʻole haʻalele kā lākou hana i kekahi a hoʻomau i ka hauʻoli i nā mea pā a puni ka honua a hiki i kēia lā. Ua hana ikaika nā kāne i kā lākou ʻoihana, loaʻa ka kūleʻa a me ka ʻike ʻia e ka lehulehu.
