Is This It! - Happy Birthday - Strokes Clubnight

A club night built around The Strokes' 2001 album Is This It, marking a birthday of the record, with a programme of electronic music at the MOTH Club in London.

The night takes its name from Is This It, the debut album released by The Strokes, the New York rock band formed in 2000 and led by Julian Casablancas on vocals. The record, first issued in 2001, is widely associated with the garage rock revival of the early 2000s and remains the band's best-known work. The title of this event pairs that album with a birthday celebration, and the programme is framed as a clubnight, with the music presented in an electronic style.

The MOTH Club hosts concerts and shows in London, and this evening is held there as a clubnight rather than a conventional gig. Those who know the album and enjoy reworking its material in a dance-oriented setting will find the premise direct. The format suits listeners who prefer a late-night club atmosphere to a seated or standing concert.

For anyone deciding whether to attend, the key point is the connection with the Strokes catalogue: the evening is a tribute-style celebration of Is This It rather than an appearance by the original band.
