The Stokes celebrate frontman’s birthday at Minsk concert

The Belarusian-Moscow band The Stokes gave a concert in Minsk “Centre” on their frontman’s birthday. Friends and amateurs came to wish many happy returns of the day to Alyaksei Stoks and to listen to the band’s new programme “Inside out”. The concert was part of The Stokes’ tour to Belarusian cities and Alyaksei said that it attracted the biggest number of fans at that moment. The Strokes used to give “cordial” concerts and only two people came to the first one.
