The Strokes and Regina Spektor Perform 2004 Rarity in New York: Watch

By editorial board on August 22, 2023

The ' New York Kids' are back again.  The on-stage collab stood as their first rendition together since 2003

The Strokes invited Regina Spektor on-stage for a rare rendition of their 2004 collaboration “Modern Girls and Old Fashion Men” at Queens, New York’s Forest Hills Stadium on Saturday, as Consequence reports.

The reunion was not only notable for its meeting of two cherished hometown acts, but also the live revival of the duet that first appeared as a b-side on the 2004 “Reptilia” single. The Strokes and Spektor last performed the song in-concert at New York’s The Theater at Madison Square Garden in 2003.

“It only took 20 years but look who showed up,” The Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas teased as Spektor stepped up to the mic. “They love you, kid.”

Spektor answered the crowd’s uproarious approval by shouting, “My favorite band in my favorite city!” Then, gauging their palpable anticipation, Casablancas added, “Y’all know the song” before diving in. Watch the homecoming performance of “Modern Girls and Old Fashion Men” below.

The Strokes reintroduced the rarity to their live repertoire at their New Year’s Eve 2019 headlining show in Brooklyn, with opener Mac Demarco taking on Spektor’s vocal parts. In August, Weyes Blood joined the band for the track’s second recent rendition during a stop at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
