The rock duo that is Two Gallants hail from San Fran in the
US and plays straight up no nonsense blues low-fi rock tunes. This tune My Love
Won’t Wait is take from their latest album The Bloom And The Blight and is well
worth a spin or seven.
The White Stripes, The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs (The Saboteurs in Australia) and now his solo gear, Jack White can do no wrong.
I went and saw Mr White earlier this week... what can be said, he's simply the coolest man on the planet. He was amazing live and blew everyone away - playing hits from across his entire career.
Here's his latest film clip taken from his debut solo album, it's a cracker!
This clip combines two of my favourite things, Lego and The White Stripes!
No matter how you pronounce it, Lego is quite possibly the greatest invention ever. It can keep young kids occupied for years, can be made into giant sculptures or works of art and as Jack and Meg White have shown, can be used to make sweet film clips.
Fell In Love With A Girl is just under two minutes of awesome that comes from The White Stripes killer album White Blood Cells. It was my first White Stripes album that I owned and to this day it's still my favourite.
Please find below for your aural delight, a charming song by a trio of young men, going by the moniker of 'The Virginmarys'. If, like me, you like your rock sung by bearded men with long hair and scarves (even in the height of summer), and sounding a bit like the members of Zepplin, AC/DC and The White Stripes all enjoying a bout of fisticuffs, then look no further! This obvious gap in the market has been neatly filled by these British boys. Mainstream fame still awaits them, but for now, revel in the blossoming re-emergence of British rock.
"Take that gun & blow my mind"?...they just might.
The White Stripes have a whole stack of killer tunes but I decided to go with the song that introduced me to Jack and Meg, welcome to the Hotel Yorba, enjoy your stay.
This tune came out back in the day when no one was really sure about their relationship, were they brother and sister, were they a divorced married couple. No one knew, but boy did it get us talking and cause many a drunken debate. Hotel Yorba caught my attention back in 2001, and a love affair with The White Stripes was ready to start.
With the exception of Dave Grohl, Jack White has to be one of the busiest musicians of the past decade, with more side projects and super groups than pairs of red jeans hanging his wardrobe.
The Hotel Yorba is an actual hotel in Detroit and this filmclip was partly filmed in room 206, which is now used as government housing, but Jack White say's they're now banned from the hotel for life. Wonder what they did to warrant that?
This tune has a great country vibe about it, perfect for getting boozed on spirits and dancing around your kitchen like a drunk lunatic. hehe, well it worked for me anyway.
