For anyone confused, they did this cus Clairo was supposed to play on that day, but her flight got cancelled so she couldn't show up :((

As a Strokes AND Harry Styles fan who loves Sofia, my heart is blessed.

[Mmxxaamm]

They're finally having fun on stage and I'm all here for it

[jastrology]

The Strokes are such trolls. Love it. Cover the 2 songs that completely bite their style.

[godlivesunderwater]

Specially sweet because Clairo has done a cover of The Strokes (I’ll Try Anything Once)

[raiNjErs]

Disappointed to not hear Julian screaming as it was 😂 we were close to the verge of greatness

[startreatment]

1:47, under cover of darkness: "everybody's singing the same song for ten years". they know how influential they were, to the point that that chord progression almost always makes it sound like a strokes song

[lastsonshine]

i love that they noticed the strokes influence too lmaooo

[adamcunningham]

I'd love them to play a strokes-y version of As It Was with Julians autotune. That would be epic!

[rafacastellano]

clairo - i’ll try anything once 🤝 the strokes - sofia

[deczo]

The strokes lentamente transformándose en the voidz

1:23 I'm pretty sure he said, "imma bend that ball is up my pee-pee, canned papas. BB can't take my football near bed. I'm busting my way. Up a man's head. Hit me up on there, bells. Have a net runner find the other yard". Seriously, Jules never disappoints lyrically, what a genius!

[benjaminodelcamino]

As it was has a huge strokes vibe it would be cool if they cover the whole song on tours

[ezzong]

Both those songs are basically One Way Trigger tbh.

[albertoa.grajeda]

Es curioso porque Sofía y Ode To The Mets siempre me han dado la misma vibra musical. Seguro llevan acordes parecidos.

[akshhat]

very interesting. "everybody's been playing the same song for 20 years", julian says this because a lot of his songs have the same chord progression (ii V I) as these two and a LOT of other songs do.

[sofiaksm]

the strokes performing sofia has made me complete

[moselaw]

Its crazy cause that Clairo song sounds like it could have been on Comedown Machine

[darknebula]

As a The Strokes fan who is also a Harry Styles fan I am dying

[TheJsfTV]

first time I heard as it was I thought it sounded a lot like a strokes song. seems they agree
