In August of 2001, Julian Casablancas appeared on the cover of The FADER alongside his scuzzy, about-to-explode New York band The Strokes; it was the group's first magazine cover story. Since this year's edition of The FADER FORT Presented by Converse is all about firsts, we're psyched to announce that Julian Casablancas and what's presumably his new backing band, The Voidz, will be joining the Saturday lineup of our Austin-based live music event; he just broke the news on his Facebook page. Check out the album trailer for Casablancas +The Voidz's new Cult Records release, embedded below, and then read Eric Ducker's feature about New York rock in the 21st century from The FADER's 50th issue.
