According to the results of a poll entitled “The 20 Best Live Bands Playing Right Now” at Rolling Stone’s Rock & Roll Daily, the Stripes are the #1 band to see in person this year, topping such mammoth acts as Radiohead, U2, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and even the newly-reformed Rage Against The Machine!

Far-fetched? Not quite. Stranger things have happened in the world of video games and the Stripes are certainly a high profile act these days, having sold millions of albums.
So, in the spirit of hope, perhaps we should take a census. In your opinion, Yorbites, which Stripes album would provide the best material for the rocking […]
Word from the official White wire:
Dear candy cane children,
The White Stripes are announcing that the “single note performance” in Newfoundland will be their last secret/side/B show for quite sometime. Every free performance was a success on the brink of disaster, and the band regrettably must retire them for the time being… undefeated! The Stripes did […]
Jack played a single C-sharp on George Street in the city of St. John’s, Newfoundland on Monday, announcing the end of the Canadian portion of the Stripes’ North American tour. A shout of…

Daycamp and a young R. Kelly impersonator!
Bagpipes, kilts and a cannon!
Fiddling at the Savoy Theatre!

Now they can be!
Looks like the Stripes will be […]
Now that the new Stripes’ album Icky Thump has been out for nearly a month, let’s take a look at the reviews that have accumulated via Metacritic:

Word from the official White wire:
The spot for the Stripes’ Anchorage gig has been changed to the George M. Sullivan Sports Arena. Apparently, more space was needed to accommodate all those screaming fans! Don’t worry if you’ve already purchased tickets. They’ll be accepted for GA floor seats.
But that’s not all! New items have been added […]
