From the most recent email sent to Strokes fans by manager, Ryan Gentles:
***U.S. "NOT-SO-SECRET" SHOW DATES***
on top of the release, the band will be doing a few SMALL VENUE sneak-
preview shows in the U.S.... we won't be announcing WHERE the band is
playing into a few days prior to each show:
JAN 03 - Chicago
JAN 05 - Seattle
JAN 06 - Los Angeles
JAN 09 - Atlanta
for most of the tickets to these shows you'll have to win by
listening to the local modern-rock radio station in the days leading
up to the show...
however, some will be sold as well, but again... you'll have to
listen for details on the radio station to figure out how/where/when
you can buy or win tickets..
for all info on these shows, tune into the following radio stations
leading up to the show....
Chicago, Q101
Seattle, KNDD "THE END"
Los Angeles, KROQ 106.7
Atlanta, tune 99X
