Julian Casablancas Played The Tonight Show, And It Was Good - Video


As a lead in to his month-long residency in Los Angeles, Julian Casablancas delivered "11th Dimension" on Conan last night, and in a word: awesome. To any of the doubters out there, this performance should do a great deal to solidify that The Strokes' frontman's solo efforts will not be a disappointment.

The performance starts off a little dry feeling, but once it kicks into high gear and Jules gets comfortable, it's nothing but fucking awesome. Combine that with the fact that the singer looks outstanding and is backed by a band called "The Sick Six", and well, you've got our vote.

the sick six kinda sucked. the only cool thing about them was the fact that I thought they were called "the sick sex" at one point

but yeah Jules looked and sounded amazing.

Really??? Man, gotta disagree: the first thirty seconds or so was a bit off, but when they hit the groove, it was on!

I agree it was much worse at first, but they will never be The Strokes and that means I hate them on principle.

Oh come on, that's such a weak argument - you're just holding out on principle!

kinda thought he had no stage presence what so ever(worst miming of a dice throw I've ever seen). loved the back up band, though their keyboarders were both fairly elementary, not that that's ever stopped someone from playing keys before...

meh.

Jules' stage presence is something of an acquired taste - he's tended to look out to lunch since day one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTs_hkFfvUI Once it gets you though, you'll be owned.

shut the f...k up, the amazing completely out weighed your sorry ass attempts at trying to steal a little bit of his mojo... why don't you look at what you accomplished today and everyday... thats right, not a G-dam thing, your judgements are invalid, I know you have freedom of speech, the problem is you have freedom to listen... your egos drowned out your ability to hear your dumb asses comin out yer mouth.
