Brendan Benson Genre: Rock / Alternative Rock/ Power Pop From: Nashville, Tennessee, United States The music business is a fickle mistress. Before his collaboration with Jack White in the Raconteurs Brendan Benson's solo career wasn't exactly lighting fires. His debut album , One Mississippi , was released in 1996 on Virgin Records but despite critical acclaim sold less copies than a Paris Hilton covers album [...]
For every band, there's always a disenfranchised member who wants to do more. Maybe get a little more exposure, come out from behind the drums, or even hear some of his lyrics actually being sung back at him (or her). Maybe that's the problem. Maybe it's a female tired of hanging out with these smelly guys all the time. Well, how come there's no Meg White solo record? Sideprojects are predominantly a man thing. Men seem to lose it when trapped in one groove and want to move on (note, this is no way a reflection on me or my [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , UK It's the middle of the Dead Weather 's three London shows, and Spinner's first thought is -- let's hope the band's earplugs are made of stern stuff. Jack White (the White Stripes ) and Alison Mosshart's (the Kills ) sideproject might come from the blues delta, but volume wise it's like the soundtrack to a rocket testing range. 'It Might Get Loud' is the name of the film where Jack White, Jimmy Page [...]

There's simply so much good video on this site and it's all high-quality. Here are just a few choice selections: Andrew Bird | Beck | Cold [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News What do Bram Stoker, Oscar Wilde, William Butler Yeats and Jack White have in common? These men of letters have all held forth at Dublin's Trinity College's Philosophical Society . White, the White Stripes frontman and member of the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather , gave a surprise lecture there Sunday, Oct. 18. White, of course, is the latest raconteur, if you will, to speak at the Society, which was founded in 1683. The rocker was awarded [...]

Artist: The Raconteurs Album: Broken Boy Soldiers Release Date: May 16, 2006 Usually a side project is a mechanism for an artist to expand his own ego by taking the lead on another project. But leave it to Jack White to turn the norm on its head. With The Raconteurs, Jack White primarily serves as lead guitarist, only taking to the mic occasionally. As a result, you really and truly do get a sound that couldn't be much more different from that of The White Stripes. With a full band alongside White, The [...]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars I must admit: I am definitely biased towards anything based on or has anything to do with Maurice Sendak's classic children's book 'Where the Wild Things Are' , as, I am sure, most people in my generation are. The story of Max resonated in my young and precocious heart, so when I heard of the cinematic adaptation a few years ago I was both excited and fearful. That is until the names Spike Jonez , Dave Eggers , and Karen O became attached [...]

Jack White is a true master of all things weird as hell. He's constantly in bands where you question if not only the sound can get any crazier, but the looks and the antics also. I've always been a fan, since the White Stripes back in the day, to now with Dead Weather . How could you not? They are an absolute supergroup. Formed in Nashville, Tennessee in 2009 and comprised of Alison Mosshart (of The Kills and Discount ), Jack White (of The White Stripes and The [...]
