Pitchfork is reporting that the Strokes are planning a special tribute to the late Joey Ramone on May 19th at the Irving Plaza in New York City. Joining the band will be the Dead Boys (with Cheetah Chrome individually billed as well) and Andy Shernoff of the Dictators. The show takes place on what would have been Joey's 55th birthday.

All proceeds from the show, tagged the Joey Ramone Birthday Benefit, go to the Lymphoma Research Foundation.

The Strokes continue to support their 2006 full length, First Impressions of Earth.
