I think this is more of a Television influence. In fact the strokes sound is more noticeable in Television than in The Velvet Underground. Just listen to Ain't That Nothing or Venus or Marquee Moon. Real strokes influence in those songs.
This song is obviously more influenced by VU. The laid back gritty sound was characteristic of them and this song was clearly going for that. The rhythm track is just the way the Velvet Underground would play it.

@bobngo10 really? that's probably cause they've never made anything as good as Marquee Moon. that's as close to a perfect record as can be. what ruins it is verlaine's voice.
@MrXxiii idk..it was an interview during theyre really young times, i think theyd change their opinion now.. and yea i kinda agree, i like "torn curtain" but verlaine's voice kinda throws me off a little
I am a huge strokes fan. Have been for years. Have all their albums but i'm just discovering all their demos right now. Today is a good day. Life is made for sweet moments like this.
"This song is most certainly the strokes. It's on a cd of rarity collections called "This is it" And it is definitely called the soho shuffle. Do some research for heaves sake. "
sounds like the velvet underground, Julians a big fan of their work so it wouldn't surprise me if this was a recording of them dicking about in a studio somewhere.
What the hell are you guys complaining about? There should be more instrumental Strokes songs. Not only that, this is just jamming out. Seldomn will someone improvise lyrics for the sake of interrupting a flow in a song..
julian was obsessed with the velvets and this sound exactly like it. plus why is everyone getting so defensive because julians not singing? Cant they get some nice jam out sessions? OF course they can. and thats what they did. C'mon people... Think

however, i would be thrilled if this really were the strokes.
i heard that someone asked a member of the band if this was them and apparently its not... but i honestly have no clue and in all honesty it doesnt sound too much like them
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
its pretty shit and amateur sounding it dont even sound nothing like them, from what i hear jules writes the melodies first so why would they just have a jam with no singin parts.

how do you know, it sounds just like there earlier shit when they were playing at the NYC clubs. Got any proof?and Squirehorse, are you sure this is them? you said you got it from a bootleg cd.
The crazy thing is, Niko didn't even consider playing the Bass as a profession, until the age of nineteen. In fact, he didn't even learn to play until eighteen. Less than two years before they became international icons. Funny how life turns out.

he's got no proof but this sounds a heck of a lot like them.
first of all, it sounds quite elephant song-ish
those sweet ass descending bass fills sound very nikolai-ish
and the guitars seem to be chunking along in the normal "ze strokes" fashion.
i think it sounds like the strokes
