The Strokes are poised to release a new album ... but before you Strokes fans out there get too excited take note - it's a live album not new material.
According to Xfm the band's fanclub newsletter says the live release will be a recording of last years gig at London's Alexander Palace, that it will feature live versions of 'The Modern Age' and 'Hard to Explain', and that it should be out in time for Christmas.
As for new material, word is the Strokes boys will be working with producer Gordon Raphael with a possible mid-2005 release date for their third album.
