Monday, hours after the Strokes shared a brief teaser for their new album Reality Awaits, it became apparent that the band had mailed cassettes featuring new single “Going Shopping” to 100 fans. Because this campaign was coordinated by someone who knows what they’re doing, the Strokes also had a show Monday night in San Francisco at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium ahead of the band’s Coachella appearance this Saturday. This gave the Strokes the chance to perform “Going Shopping” in public for the first time.
