Earlier this year, the Strokes released the Future Present Past EP. Most of the band members are busy with their own music, too—and now, guitarist Nick Valensi has launched a new side project called CRX. Their website only features links to some social media pages, but on Twitter, they teased some forthcoming activity. The band's other members are Ralph Alexander (The Dose), Richie Follin (Guards), Darian Zahedi, and Jon Safley (The Reflections). They've also announced dates for their first four shows via Twitter. You can find those dates below.

CRX:

08-17 Los Angeles, CA - The Hi Hat

08-20 Brooklyn, NY - Rough Trade

08-24 New York, NY - The Mercury Lounge

08-26 Los Angeles, CA - The Satellite
