During their headlining performance at Japan’s Fuji Rock Festival on July 28th, The Strokes unleashed their live debut of “Fear of Sleep” from their 2006 album First Impressions of Earth. Frontman Julian Casablancas announced the song’s debut by telling the audience, “Here’s a song that we probably last played in Japan 29 years ago. Kidding…not that long ago. Sounds right?
