Stop Faking It, The Strokes!: Music Intervention

Sergio_Cilli
Last month the Strokes released a new album ("Angles") after a five-year hiatus, but the too-cool-for-school quintet have struggled to recapture their early magic. Enter infoMania's music expert, Sergio Cilli, to stage a Music Intervention. Because "ennui" is just a silly French word, not an acceptable guiding philosophy for a rock band.

infoMania is a half-hour comedy show that airs weekly on Current TV. Picture the ultimate office water-cooler, only with funnier co-workers who willingly stay up late imbibing all forms of media so you don't have to. Caveat: Bring your own water. Hosted by Brett Erlich and co-starring Sergio Cilli, Erin Gibson, Ben Hoffman and Bryan Safi, infoMania airs on Thursdays at 11/10c on Current TV.

    • The Strokes are my fav. I have seen them in concert 3 times. The first 2 were excellent and Julian Casablancas was incredible and put on an amazing performance. Then, from what I was told, he stopped drinking prior to the 3rd time I saw them (for- First Impressions of Earth) and it was boring. He just stood there and sang nothing exciting or crazy like for the prior shows (for- Is This It and Room on Fire). I'm not saying he should drink but maybe an energy drink? Something. It does sadden me when I know the potential. I love them and hope they continue to make excellent music and but on great shows. I can't wait til they come around for Angles and hope they but on a show like they did in the beginning.

    • Sergio, you are a clown. The Strokes have been killing it for a long time, you just stand there and judge people. You have a point that 1 SNL performance was a bit unexciting, but i just saw them at Coachella and they rocked shit.....Re do your stupid intro and judge someone who actually sucks like Bieber or the Black Eyed Peas
