Josh Homme has been revealed as the producer on The Strokes guitarist Nick Valensi‘s debut album with new band CRX.
‘New Skin‘ is released on October 28th and is to be previewed at a Troubadour show in West Hollywood on September 17th. Also in the band are Richie James Follin on keyboards, Ralph Alexander (drums), Jon Safley (bass) and Darian Zahedi (guitar).
They’ve all got another headline show in Chicago shortly after the Troubadour gig, and then support Beck across three dates soon after.
This venture for Valensi comes after an unusually busy time with The Strokes which has encompassed various live outings and a brand new EP entitled ‘Future Present Past‘.
