這篇文章是我在wiki fandom上面翻到的，比較詳細地介紹了The Strokes的職業(yè)生涯以及他們在SNL的幾次公開表演。讀起來不是很費勁，所以在翻譯完之后我把原文也一起貼上來了。

The Strokes?are an American rock band from Manhattan, New York. Formed in 1998, the band is composed of singer Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr., bassist Nikolai Fraiture, and drummer Fabrizio Moretti. They are one of the more prominent bands of the garage rock and post-punk revivals, aiding in the resurgence of indie rock in New York City.

The Strokes是一支來自紐約曼哈頓的美國搖滾樂隊。樂隊成立于1998年，由歌手Julian Casablancas，吉他手Nick Valensi和Albert Hammond Jr.，貝斯手Nikolai Fraiture和鼓手Fabrizio Moretti組成。他們是車庫搖滾和后朋復興中較為突出的樂隊之一，可以說引領了紐約獨立搖滾的復興潮流。

After the release of their EP The Modern Age in January 2001, a bidding war ensued among major labels in order to sign the band. Eventually, RCA Records signed them and released their debut studio album, Is This It, later that year. It earned them international commercial success and critical acclaim, appearing on several year-end and all-time album lists. It was followed by Room on Fire in October 2003 and First Impressions of Earth in January 2006, both receiving similar commercial success. They then entered a hiatus for several years.

在2001年1月發(fā)行EP《The Modern Age》后，各大唱片公司之間為了簽約The Stroke樂隊而展開了競購戰(zhàn)。最終，RCA唱片公司簽下了他們，并在當年晚些時候發(fā)行了他們的首張錄音室專輯《Is This It》。這張專輯為他們贏得了國際商業(yè)上的成功和好評，也出現(xiàn)在幾個年終和歷史專輯名單上。緊隨其后的是2003年10月的《Room on Fire》和2006年1月的《First Impression on Earth》，兩張專輯都（和第一張專輯）差不多成功。然后他們就進入了幾年的職業(yè)中斷。

Toward the end of their original record deal with RCA, the Strokes released two albums in three years with Angles in March 2011 and Comedown Machine in March 2013. Both received lukewarm responses from critics, with the latter being their worst-performing album commercially. They released their first collection of material after their departure from RCA, the Future Present Past EP, in June 2016 through Casablancas' independent Cult Records label.

在他們與RCA的合同即將結(jié)束時，The Strokes在三年內(nèi)連續(xù)發(fā)行了兩張專輯，分別是2011年3月發(fā)行的《Angles》和2013年3月發(fā)行的《Comedown Machine》。這兩張專輯都遭到評論家的冷淡回應，后者甚至是他們在商業(yè)上表現(xiàn)最差的專輯。在?2016?年6?月，他們通過Julian Casablancas的獨立唱片公司Cult Records發(fā)行了他們離開?RCA?后的第一張EP《Future Present Past》。

They made their musical guest debut on?Saturday Night Live?on?January 19, 2002, the eleventh episode of?Season 27, hosted by actor and comedian?Jack Black. They performed two songs "Last Nite" and "Hard To Explain.

他們于2002年1月19日在周六夜現(xiàn)場（SNL）首次亮相，即SNL第27季的第11集（S27 E11），由演員兼喜劇演員Jack Black主持。他們演唱了兩首歌曲：“Last Nite”和“Hard To Explain”。

They returned to?Saturday Night Live?for their 2nd musical guest appearance on?January 21, 2006, the eleventh episode of?Season 31, hosted by actor?Peter Sarsgaard. They performed two songs "Juicebox" and "You Only Live Once".

他們于?2006?年?1?月?21?日又一次作為SNL的音樂嘉賓出場，即演員Peter Sarsgaard主持的第31季第11集（S31 E11）。他們演唱了兩首歌曲：“Juicebox”和“You Only Live Once”。

They returned to?Saturday Night Live?for their 3rd musical guest appearance on?March 5, 2011, the sixteenth episode of?Season 36, hosted by actress and pop sensation?Miley Cyrus. They perform two songs "Under The Cover of Darkness" and "Life Is Simple In The Moonlight".

他們第三次擔任SNL的音樂嘉賓是在2011年3月5日的時候，即第36季的第16集（S36 E16），由女演員和流行歌手麥莉賽勒斯主持。他們演唱了兩首歌曲：“Under Cover of Darkness”和“Life is Simple in the Moonlight”。

Later that decade, the Strokes began working with Rick Rubin on a new album. In April 2020 they released their first studio album in seven years, The New Abnormal, through Cult and RCA. Critics generally considered the album a return to form. In fact, they were originally supposed to return to SNL for their 4th musical guest appearance and they're going to perform on April 11, 2020, around the same time the album came out, but then their appearance was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so, they performed on?Halloween.

在10年代的后期，The Strokes開始與Rick Rubin合作制作新專輯。2020?年?4?月，他們通過?Cult Records和?RCA?發(fā)行了七年來的第一張錄音室專輯《The New Abnormal》。評論家普遍認為這張專輯是The Strokes形式上的回歸。事實上，他們本應該在專輯發(fā)行后就回到?SNL?進行第4次音樂客串演出（約在2020年4月11日）。但由于?COVID-19?大流行，他們的露面被推遲了。所以，他們在SNL的表演被推遲到了2020年的萬圣節(jié)附近。

The Strokes returned to?Saturday Night Live?for their 4th musical guest appearance and first appearance in almost nine years on?October 31, 2020, the fifth episode and the Halloween show of?Season 46, hosted by former?SNL?writer, stand-up comedian and actor?John Mulaney. They perform two songs "The Adults Are Talking" and "Bad Decisions".

2020?年?10?月?31?日，The Strokes?重返SNL，進行他們的第?4?次音樂客串演出和近九年來的首次公開亮相。在由前?SNL?作家、單口喜劇演員和演員John Mulaney主持的第?46?季的萬圣節(jié)特別篇上，他們演唱了新專輯中的兩首歌曲：“The Adults Are Talking”和“Bad decision”。

這篇文章只講了The Strokes在SNL上的幾次演出，但是根據(jù)我的記憶，Julian個人應該也上過幾次SNL，包括I wish it was Christmas Today（個人專輯《Phrazes for the Young》時期）、Boombox（和三表哥一起寫的奇奇怪怪歌）等等，下次等我想起來的時候再去考古看看吧。
