The Strokes performed songs from their album Reality Awaits on Saturday Night Live. The appearance was the band’s fifth as musical guest and came during Druski’s debut as host.
Reality Awaits is the band’s seventh studio album and first in six years. It came out in July via Cult Records/RCA Records, with “Going Shopping” and “Falling Out Of Love” as singles.
The Strokes played “Lonely In The Future” first and returned later in the episode for “Going Shopping.” Actor Walton Goggins, who co-starred in the “Going Shopping” music video, joined the band on bongos for that song.
