The Strokes have confirmed the rumours that they are set to do a series of secret club gigs to promote the release of "First Impressions of Earth".
The reports have been circulating for a few weeks that they would be playing the shows and speaking to Billboard Albert Hammond Jr revealed: "We'll do eight new songs and leave, just like how it was with the first record, with no one knowing any of our music. We thought it would build some excitement."
The appearances will begin next week and will include gigs in Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Berlin, Milan and Madrid up until mid-December.
