The Strokes’ Nick Valensi has started a new band

The Strokes’ Nick Valensi has started a new band of his own, called CRX.

Until now, Valensi was the only member of the band not to have started a solo or side project. He was once quoted as saying: “I’m of the opinion that you’re in a band and that’s what you do. If there’s leftover material and time, then sure, by all means. But if you’re playing material that you haven’t even shown to your main band and you’re just sort of keeping it for yourself, I’m not a big fan of that.”

The guitarist is joined by drummer Ralph Alexander, Richie James Follin, Darian Zahedi and Jon Safley.

The Strokes themselves have been busy in 2016, releasing comeback EP ‘Future Present Past’.

CRX have yet to share any music, but they already possess an ace logo. See below.
