The Voidz

With The Strokes, Julian Casablancas' livewire energy serves as a steady conductor within the band's repertoire of hits. With his other outfit The Voidz, he gets carte blanche to spread his unique brand of chaos any direction he wishes. That situation makes for volatile live shows that veer from VHS-warped psychedelica to radiant baroque pop. No band on this bill will blend sinister with sweet in such eye-popping fashing as The Voidz, which somehow is the only certainty one can expect.
