We've unlocked this week's very special Patreon episode—in which we had the honour of chatting to Cody Smyth, who joins us ahead of his upcoming photography exhibition in Sydney that documents candid and behind the scenes moments of the first 10 years of The Strokes. We discuss how he became friends with the band at high school in NYC, what it was like watching The Strokes blow up, the beauty and nostalgic value of film photography, and Cody shares some crazy stories of his time as iconic rock photographer Mick Rock’s assistant.
If you are in Sydney get down to the exhibition 28 July - 2nd August at The Verona Rooftop in Paddington, and if you’re not you can check it out and purchase some incredible prints online at https://www.behindthegallery.com.au
