The Strokes, a New York rock band, marked their fifth time on SNL with performances of 'Lonely in the Future' and 'Going Shopping', as reported by Rolling Stone.
Both songs are from their latest album, Reality Awaits, which was produced by Rick Rubin. The album was recorded in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, and at Rubin's southern California studios, Shangri-La and The Mansion.
The band's performance on SNL followed the North American and European leg of their Reality Awaits the World Tour. They will be heading to Mexico and South America in a couple of weeks, and then to Australia in February.
The Strokes' next scheduled US dates include the Innings Festival in Arizona and Salt Lake City's Kilby Block Party in May. Guitarist Nick Valensi, who took a temporary break from the tour, was not on stage but has been musically active, recently playing with Duran Duran in Paris.
