The Strokes will release a special alternate video for their third single "You Only Live Once" from their most recent album, First Impressions Of The Earth on May 29th. Picked as one of Rolling Stone Magazine's Best Songs of 2006, the new video was directed by seasoned LucasFilm art director, Warren Fu (Star Wars prequels, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Pirates of the Caribbean) and will premiere and be exclusively hosted on the online community imeem (www.imeem.com).
On the same day, the band will relaunch their highly trafficked website, www.TheStrokes.com with a complete redesign. Fans will be treated to a sneak peek trailer of the new "You Only Live Once" video one week prior to the imeem premiere, on May 21st via the band's website.
An inspired Fu approached The Strokes as a longtime fan with his fantasy video treatment after instantly falling for the album's lead track. As he recounts, "The Strokes always had cool and innovative videos for their songs, so when I got their latest album, I was determined to direct a video for them. 'You Only Live Once' immediately caught my attention. The notes seemed to fit perfectly like a puzzle, and I fell in love with the song after the first few listens." With the blessing of the band and the experience at LucasFilms under his belt, Fu immersed the band into his sci fi concept and created a world made up entirely from CGI that pays homage to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey as well as the NASA spacecrafts of the 1970's. The result is nothing less than
spectacular.
