The single, “Love Interruption,” is currently streaming at Third Man Records’ website, and will be released as a 7″ single February 7th. This leading single is a bluesy acoustic track, with a soft jazz organ and clarinet playing in the background. Jack…
…but don’t get your hopes too high just yet. Over the last few years, the White Stripes frontman, Jack White, one of the most influential frontmen/guitarist of the past decade, has surprinsingly steadily shifted his attention to side projects. In 2008 he released “Consolers of the Lonely” with long time collaborators The Raconteurs, after which he continued in the following year of 2009 with the heavy riff infused “Horehound” with the newly formed The Dead…
So we get to see yet another Jack White incarnation take to the stage this month. His Garage-blues supergroup, The Dead Weather, is booked to play New York’s Bowery Ballroom on April 14th. They were officially announced as an outfit less than a month ago, when White moved his Third Man vinyl record label to his newly adopted home of Nashville, Tennessee. This time around, the multi-talented rock svengali has decided to have a go…
I’m a bit late with this, but I’ve just found out that The Raconteurs were featured on Conan O’Brien’s Late Night Show, where they performed two live songs, from their April surprise record Consolers of the Lonely. To be more specific the band unleashed a vole of roots-rock upon National TV first with the infectious rocker “Many Shades of Black,” which was then soon followed by the fiddle-boosted “Old Enough.” All in all the band…
Artist name: The Raconteurs Album name: Consolers of the Lonely Label: Warner Bros.

Partly, of course, because of White Stripes’ high notoriety and cult like following. Now, the band has reached record number two in the…
What better way to start off the week, then a fresh does of new music? In this week folks is pretty darn impressive to say the least. Firstly we have Jack White’s The Raconteurs who’ve suddenly and out of the blue released their sophomore LP “Consolers Of The Lonely.” Then there’s the pop rock veterans The B-52’s and their eight studio album “Funplex.” Another very interesting release comes from Counting Crows as they unveil their…
Surprise, surprise. Jack White and The Raconteurs just went all maverick on us and just announced that they’ll release a new album and that no later then next week ! I mean Jack pulled some pretty wacky stunts in the past, the whole Meg White sister-wife thingy being the first to come to mind, but this just might top all of them. The news came out last night, as the band announced their new record…
A peculiar conversation went on earlier today, at [tag]The Raconteurs[/tag] MySpace profile, between band members [tag]Jack White[/tag] and Brendan Benson. The conversation revolved mainly on the band’s future LP, but also sidetracked a bit on some hilarious lines about drugs, merchandising and the omni-present fear for L.J. ( ‘Little Jack’ Lawrence – the band’s bassist player). The conclusion, if existing, is that they’ve started writing and recording a lot of songs, that are different anything…
