The White Stripes are a Grammy Award-winning American rock music duo from Detroit, composed of songwriter Jack White on guitar, piano, lead vocals, and Meg White on drums, percussion and vocals. The group rose to prominence as part of the garage rock revival with the albums White Blood Cells and Elephant. The White Stripes are known for their raw low fidelity sound and the simplicity of their compositions and arrangements mostly inspired by American blues, Folk rock,[1] and country music.[2]. July 14, 2007 marks the tenth anniversary of the band.

[edit] Career

[edit] The Beginning (White Stripes and De Stijl albums)

The White Stripes (Megan Martha White, drums, vocals; and Jack White whose birth name is John Anthony Gillis, guitar, piano, lead vocals) were formed in Detroit in 1997 and first performed in public on Bastille Day (see 1997 in music).[3] The duo began receiving more attention after Jack White made the tandem the primary focus of his efforts, after his unceremonious exit from the Detroit garage-rock band The Go in 1999. While Jack and Meg have claimed to be siblings,[4] numerous sources have proven that they are in fact divorced.[5] Jack has described their eponymous debut album (released in 1999), as "...really angry...the most raw, the most powerful, and the most Detroit-sounding record we've made".[6]

Their second release, De Stijl (2000), was named after the De Stijl (the style) Dutch art movement which they cited as a source for the approach to their music and to their image. De Stijl-style art was also used on the album cover. It was recorded on a vintage 8 track player in Jack's living room, although he said he would never use that technique again, as there were many interruptions during the recording.

[edit] Rising Popularity (White Blood Cells and Elephant albums)

The White Stripes enjoyed their first significant success during 2001 with the release of their first major label album White Blood Cells (initially released on Sympathy for the Record Industry, the album was re-released on V2 Records in 2002). The stripped-down, garage rock sound drew critical acclaim in the UK, soon spreading to the United States and becoming one of the more acclaimed bands of 2002.[3] In 2002, Q magazine named The White Stripes as one of the "50 Bands to See Before You Die". The Lego-themed video, directed by Michel Gondry for the single "Fell in Love with a Girl" off White Blood Cells, brought them wider attention.

Their follow-up, entitled Elephant, was released on April 1, 2003, again to widespread critical acclaim and even more commercial success becoming The White Stripes' first UK chart-topper and US Top 10 album. It was recorded with Liam Watson at Toe Rag Studios, London. During their "50 Years of Rock and Roll" celebration, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it as the 390th best album of all time."Rolling Stones List of the 500 Greatest Albums Ever Made" Elephant was lead by the band's most successful single yet, "Seven Nation Army". It was followed up with a cover of "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself", originally by Burt Bacharach. The album's third single was the successful "The Hardest Button to Button". On February 8, 2004 the album won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album, and "Seven Nation Army" won a Grammy for Best Rock Song,

In 2003, Jack and Meg White appeared in Jim Jarmusch's film, Coffee and Cigarettes in a segment entitled "Jack Shows Meg His Tesla Coil." Later in August of that year, Rolling Stone Magazine included Jack White on a special cover of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" issue at number 17 between Johnny Ramone and John Frusciante.

Released in 2004, Under Blackpool Lights was filmed entirely using 16mm film and was directed by Dick Carruthers. Jack White alerted fans to secrets within the film on his site postings, one of which was sure to be the writing on his arm. Recorded over two nights' shows, this writing says NOXIOUS which changes to OBNOXIOUS at certain points when film from a different night is used. The film features a cover of Dolly Parton's song "Jolene".

[edit] Get Behind Me Satan album and other projects

A fifth album, Get Behind Me Satan, was released in North America on June 7, 2005 and has garnered critical acclaim. In that year, Rolling Stone magazine said: "If you happen to be a rock band, and you don't happen to be either of the White Stripes, it so sucks to be you right now."[7] Three singles were released from the album, the first being "Blue Orchid", which was a popular song on satellite radio and occasionally FM stations. White's new spouse appears in the video for the song. The second single was "My Doorbell". The third single, "The Denial Twist", featured a video by Michel Gondry which documented, in typically bizarre White Stripes fashion, the band's week-long appearance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. The album won Best Alternative Music Album at the 2006 Grammy Awards. They were nominated for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for "My Doorbell".

The band released a cover version of Tegan and Sara's song "Walking with a Ghost" on iTunes November 14, 2005. The song was later released on December 7 as the Walking With a Ghost EP featuring four other live tracks.

On December 1, 2005, the group appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, performing both "The Denial Twist" and "My Doorbell". The White Stripes are one of the few bands to perform on the show (on an earlier show, the group Tenacious D had performed a song after their interview).

The White Stripes postponed the Japanese leg of their world tour after Jack strained his vocal cords. Doctors recommended that Jack not sing or talk for two weeks. He fully recovered and returned to the stage in Auckland, New Zealand to headline the Big Day Out tour.[8]

On May 15, 2006 The Raconteurs fronted by Jack White and Brendan Benson released their debut Broken Boy Soldiers. White has since toured with the band through the rest of the year.

During the 2006 FIFA World Cup, "Seven Nation Army" became the unofficial hymn for Italy, the Azzurri. The song was picked up by fans of AS Roma, one of Serie A's best teams. The song was sung to serenade Roma's players on the national team, most notably Francesco Totti. The Italian fans often chanted the song's signature guitar riff.[9] A version of the song featuring comments from Italian sports commentator Fabio Caressa enjoyed airplay on Italian radios and TV shows. Appropriately, the Italian team actually had to play against seven other nations to get the title (Ghana, USA, Czech Republic, Australia, Ukraine, Germany, and France).

On October 12, 2006, it was announced on the White Stripes official website that there would be an album of avant-garde orchestral recordings consisting of past music written by Jack White called Aluminium. The album was made available for pre-order on November 6, 2006 to great demand from the band's fans, the LP version of the project sold out in a little under a day. The project was conceived by Richard Russell, who is the founder of XL Recordings. Richard Russell co-produced the album with Joby Talbot. It was recorded between August 2005 and February 2006 at Intimate Studios in Wapping, London using an orchestra. The album is available exclusively through the Aluminium website as a numbered limited edition of 3,333 CDs with 999 LP's also produced but now sold out. The download format will not be limited, and will come with an electronic booklet.[10]

On January 12, 2007 it was announced that in the process of reconstruction, V2 Records will no longer release new White Stripes material, leaving the band currently without a label.[11] However, the band's contract with V2 had already expired, and on February 12, 2007, it was confirmed that the band had signed a single album deal with Warner Brothers.[12]

On February 14, it was confirmed that the band would be playing the 2007 Bonnaroo Music Festival.

[edit] Icky Thump

The White Stripes official web site announced on February 28, 2007 that Icky Thump will be the name of the sixth studio album.[13] The band's website announced that the album was recorded at Nashville's Blackbird Studio and took almost three weeks to record — the longest of any White Stripes album to date.

A statement on the band's official website (spuriously attributed to "Kitayna Ireyna Tatanya Kerenska Alisof" of the "Moscow Bugle", a reference to Batman: The Movie, 1966.[14]) claims that:

"The White Stripes have completed the recording and mixing of their sixth album. It is entitled Icky Thump, and is their first album to include a title track, which curiously (and not ironically) has the same words in it's [sic] name. Though some residents of northern England might almost recognize the title, the Stripes stress they are spelling it wrong intentionally just for "kicks" and "metaphors", and to avoid a possible lawsuit from the estate of Billy Eckstine."

Three tracks were previewed to NME, "Icky Thump", "What Love Is" and "Conquest." NME described the tracks as "an experimental, heavy sounding 70s riff", "a strong, melodic love song" and "an unexpected mix of big guitars and a bold horn section", respectively.[15] NME also confirmed the appearance of bagpipes in a video of the band recording the songs but stated that none of the songs previewed featured the instrument.

The song "I'm Slowly Turning Into You" was featured in a video on the band's official website. The video depicts Jack White in the studio recording the vocals for the song while a skeletal figure dances in the background.

The album is due to come out June 2007, shortly before the American tour begins in Tennessee.

[edit] Music

[edit] Instruments and equipment

The White Stripes are famous for having only two musicians, which limits the amount of instrumentation playing live.[16] Jack, the principal writer, has said this has not been a problem, and that he "always centered the band around the number three. Everything was vocals, guitar and drums or vocals, piano and drums."[17] While Jack is the lead singer, Meg does sing lead vocals on three of the band's songs: "In the Cold, Cold Night" (from Elephant),[2] "Passive Manipulation" (from Get Behind Me Satan), and "Who's a Big Baby?" released on the "Blue Orchid" single.

Early on, the band drew attention for their preference of using antiquated recording equipment. The album Elephant was recorded on an eight-track machine that dated from the early 1960s. With few exceptions, Jack has also shown a continued partiality towards amps and pedals from the 1960s.[18]

Jack uses a number of effects to create his sound, notably a Digitech Whammy pedal to create reach pitches that would otherwise not be possible with a regular guitar.[2] For instance, without the pedal, "Seven Nation Army" would require a bass[19] and "Black Math" would be very difficult to play without a 29th fret (which does not exist on most guitars) on the highest string.[20]

The guitars he uses live are a 1964 JB Hutto Montgomery Airline, a Harmony Rocket, a 1970s Crestwood Astral II, and a 1950s Kay Hollowbody. In concert with the Digitech Whammy pedal, MXR Micro-Amp, Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi Distortion/Sustainer, and Electro-Harmonix POG (Polyphonic octave generator), White can produce a very distinctive sound. He also uses a Boss TU-2 Tuner Pedal. He plugs this setup into a 1970s Fender Twin Reverb and two 100-Watt Sears Silvertone 6x10 combo amplifiers.[21]

He also plays other instruments such as a black F-Style Gibson Mandolin, Rhodes Bass Keys, and a Steinway piano. Jack plays a custom-made red and white marimba on "The Nurse" and "Forever For Her (Is Over For Me)".

[edit] Guitar tuning

With the standard tuning for guitar, Jack White uses also several open tunings in many of his songs and also in covers by the band:

  • Open D tuning: "Let's Build a Home", "Sister, Do You Know My Name?"
  • Open G tuning: "Death Letter", "Little Bird" (both played in Open A during live shows)
  • Open E tuning: "A Boy's Best Friend", "I Fought Piranhas", "St. Ides of March", "Stop Breaking Down", "Suzy Lee", "Let's Build a Home" (live), "Goin' Back to Memphis" (live)
  • Open A tuning: "Red Rain", "Seven Nation Army"

White also produces a "fake" bass tone by playing his guitars through his Digitech whammy pedal, dropping the tuning down by one octave[2] for a very thick, low, rumbling sound, which he uses most notably on the songs "Seven Nation Army" and "The Hardest Button to Button".[22]

Jack White is known to use GHS strings for his guitars, but the gauge is unknown.

[edit] Recording sessions and live performances

Many of the records of the White Stripes have been recorded rather rapidly. For example, Elephant was recorded in about two weeks in London's Toerag Studio.[3] Their 2005 follow-up, Get Behind Me Satan, was likewise recorded in just two weeks. For live shows, the duo also never prepares set lists for their shows, believing that planning too accurately would ruin the natural feeling of their performances. Jack improvises frequently with solos and often cuts a song short to jump into another. Because of this, no two shows in the same venue are the same and show length time can often run from 70-100 minutes due to spontaneity by Jack.

[edit] Covers

Jack White composes all the White Stripes' music, with the exception of covers. In an interview, Jack White said that hearing the a cappella song "Grinning in Your Face" by American bluesman Son House "was a transformative moment". The band has covered "Grinning in Your Face"A and Son House's signature "Death Letter", and "John the Revelator", a traditional song House was noted for. Through LP and singles, they cover other American blues artists such as Blind Willie McTell ("Lord, Send Me an Angel", "Your Southern Can Is Mine"), Leadbelly ("Boll Weevil"), and Robert Johnson ("Stop Breaking Down"). The White Stripes also did a version of the song "St. James Infirmary Blues," which has no known writer but has been performed by many earlier musicians, including The Animals, Louis Armstrong and Janis Joplin. They have performed Gene Vincent's "Baby Blue" at some of their shows, including their show for BBC Radio 1 at Maida Vale, London.

The band also plays many covers of Bob Dylan songs ("One More Cup of Coffee", "Isis", "Love Sick", "Outlaw Blues"). "Black Jack Davey" was also recorded and released as a B-Side (the song is traditional, but has been made popular on Bob Dylan's "Good as I've Been To You"). Jack White said that Dylan covers are mostly proposed by Meg, who is a huge fan of his music. Jack White also performed "Ball and Biscuit" as an encore with Dylan on March 17, 2004 at Detroit's State Theatre. Set List for concert on 3/17/04

The Stripes have covered Dolly Parton's "Jolene" (which was released as the B-side to the single "Hello Operator" in 2000, and as a live version in the 2004 single "Jolene"), as well as Burt Bacharach's "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself" on the album Elephant.

Party of Special Things to Do, a single released in 2000, features three covers of songs by Captain Beefheart: "Party of Special Things to Do", "China Pig", and "Ashtray Heart".

Recently they have covered Canadian indie rock duo Tegan and Sara's "Walking with a Ghost."

[edit] Record Collecting

The White Stripes are, according to Record Collector Magazine, the most collectable band of modern music.[23](2003). Highly sought after are the band's first two releases on small Detroit label Italy records. The first pressings of "Let's Shake Hands" and "Lafayette Blues" were issued on red and white wax, respectively, and both were limited to 1000 copies. These singles have fetched in excess of $100 USD on the auction website eBay.

Also highly collectable is the Sub Pop Singles Club release of Captain Beefheart covers issued on half red/half white wax and limited to 1300 copies.

Lafayette Blues — #7 out of 15
Lafayette Blues — #7 out of 15

The "holy grail" of collectors is the "Lafayette Blues" first pressing with a hand-painted sleeve and a marbled red and white vinyl. Only 15 copies exist worldwide, and the sleeves were painted by Jack & Italy records owner Dave Buick. Jack painted 7 (signified by a 'III' in the corner), Dave painted 7 (signified by a HW over the letter B in the corner), and they collaborated on number 15. These extremely rare records have sold for as high as $2800 and were only available at the record release party at Detroit's Gold Dollar back on October 23, 1998.

In more recent times, the latest collectable is the Triple Inchophone, a specialised record player which plays reformatted White Stripes singles on 3-inch records, including the track "Top Special" which is exclusive to the 3-inch format. While the band was intent on purchasing as many of the record players as possible from the manufacturer, Bandai, there were only 400 available. This made the record player worth far more than it would have been otherwise — some fans have paid in excess of $1000 for one. Even the Rob Jones-designed White Stripes 45 boxes (used to store either the Inchophone or 7" singles) are known to sell for up to $400. The Inchophone and 45 box were available only at the shows on the 2005/06 Who's a Big Baby? World Tour. There are also 3-inch records for "The Denial Twist" that are only available from Jack personally.

[edit] Lyrics

Interpersonal relationships, especially between men and women, are the main theme of the lyrics of the White Stripes songs. Jack White does not, as a rule, write about politics. However, "The Big Three Killed My Baby", could be considered as a political song because the lyrics are an attack on the automotive industry's lack of vision and the fall of the major labor unions of the 1960s to 1980s. Also, in an altered version of the song played on stage, Jack sings: "and Bush's hands are turning red… and I found out your baby is dead." The song "The Union Forever" features lines from the Orson Welles film Citizen Kane.[18]

Many of The White Stripes songs refers to school and childhood ("Sister, Do You Know My Name?", "We're Going to Be Friends", "I Think I Smell a Rat", "Black Math", "The Hardest Button to Button", "Passive Manipulation").

Curiously, all five studio albums feature songs with titles starting with the word "little." In order of album release, there is "Little People", "Little Bird", "Little Room", "Little Acorns", "Little Ghost" and "Little Cream Soda" on their sixth upcoming album Icky Thump. Furthermore, on the intro to the song "Let's Build a Home", on the "De Stijl" album, there is a recording of a song called "Little Red Box."

[edit] Band motifs

Color scheme

Red, white and black, the band's signature colors, are, according to Jack, "the most powerful color combination of all time, from a Coca-Cola can to a Nazi banner." These colors are also be found throughout the duo's distinctive wardrobe and album artwork. In some interviews, the group has said that the colors red and white refer to peppermint candy, a symbol of childhood innocence. Jack has also mentioned that the colors are the same ones used in baby toys because they are easily visible to infants, who are slightly colorblind at birth. Interestingly, before forming the band, Jack had also created a three-color scheme for an upholstery business he started in his early twenties. All of his tools, his van, and his uniform used the colors white, black, and yellow.

The Red and white of the cover of the first two White Stripes albums prompted John Peel to buy and eventually play them owing to the similarities with the colours of Liverpool F.C.

The Number Three

Jack has emphasized the significance the number three holds for the band, citing it as inspiration not only for their tri-colored uniforms, but their pared-down approach to what he considers the three elements of song: storytelling, melody and rhythm.[16] The number three also frequently appears in White Stripes' album artwork, and texts written by Jack, such as liner notes or messages written on the band's website, are often signed with "Jack White III" or simply "III." There are also only three sounds: drums, guitar, and vocals in most of their songs; sometimes keyboard or piano is substituted for guitar.Jack also only uses three guitars for the bands live concerts: a vintage 1960's Airline, a 1950's Kay Hollowbody and a Crestwood Astrall II. To date, the band have released three singles from each album. Also notable is Jack's admiration for the Carol Reed film The Third Man, (which is similarly the name of his production company).

[edit] Other media appearances

In Disney Channel's new Canadian show "Life With Derek" Derek and Casey fight over White Stripes tickets.

Jack and Meg White appeared in Jim Jarmusch's 2003 film, Coffee and Cigarettes in a segment entitled "Jack Shows Meg His Tesla Coil."

The White Stripes appeared in an episode of The Simpsons titled "Jazzy and the Pussycats", which first aired on September 17, 2006. In the episode, Homer and Marge buy a drum kit for Bart in an attempt to find a constructive way for him to channel his energy. In one scene — an homage to the Stripes' clip for "The Hardest Button to Button" — Bart bashes his kit in his bedroom, down the street, through the halls of Springfield Elementary and into an intersection, where his kit literally collides with Meg's kit, prompting Jack and Meg to chase Bart in a similar drum kit bashing fashion.[24] According to a spokesman for FOX, Jack and Meg recorded their lines in New York City on November 30, 2005, incidentally, shortly before Jack lost his voice and was ordered by doctors not to speak.

On September 25, 2006 The White Stripes were "featured" on the second episode of NBC's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, titled "The Cold Open". Within the episode, the band was scheduled to be the musical hosts on the show within the show but had to cancel after Jack White was stricken with tonsillitis. Although The White Stripes never actually appeared in the episode, a comedian is seen wearing a jet black wig in preparation to act as singer Jack White for a planned White Stripes parody sketch. Jokes were also made about their mysteriously unknown relationship.

Jack and Meg White were depicted in the claymation MTV celebrity parody show "Celebrity Deathmatch" where Jack White was fighting to the death with Jack Black. During the fight, stabs were made at Jack and Meg White indicating they neither knew if Jack and Meg were brother or sister or ex-spouses. Throughout the fight, the commentator Nick Diamond can be heard making jokes about where they stand, siblings or ex-spouses. Meg White jumps in at the last minute to help an almost defeated Jack White, and together they grotesquely finish off Jack Black by buttoning up a white shirt too small for him, which inevitably causes his head to explode.

In the tv series Veronica Mars, two of the show's protagonist's arrived to a costumed Halloween party as Jack and Meg White.
