Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on November 13, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Nikolai Fraiture! May your day be as effortlessly cool and timelessly stylish as those iconic basslines you've gifted us with The Strokes. From the gritty charm of "Is This It" to the vibrant grooves in "The Adults Are Talking," you’ve consistently kept our heads bobbing and feet tapping.

Here's hoping this year brings even more unforgettable moments—whether it's rocking festival stages worldwide or casually reminding everyone why you're one of indie rock's most beloved bassists. Keep slaying that rhythm section; after all these years, we're still dancing along!

Cheers to another spin around the sun, maestro!
