If anyone can pull off having 3 or 4 bands going at once, it's Jack White. Looking forward to anything from him but would also love a new Stripes record at some point...

Perfect collaboration. Thought Youtube had removed all music vids though?? How did this one sneak through?

Look at him, he's been dead for years but hasn't realised yet.

This is fabulous news. I remember watching Jack with the White Stripes on one of their first UK tours at Camden Barfly. Also watching Alison and Jamie at Westbourne Park Cherry Bar when they started as The Kills. What fabulous mutual careers they developed through 6 years that passed by! Their new project will be one of the best supergroups that music industry would have seen since its initiation. And guess what.. I ll be in the pit taking photos of this great new project as soon as their plane lands to our shores!
