The Hotel Yorba

Take The Elevator

Something occurred to me today:
I’ve been posting at the Hotel Yorba for a few days and there’s not a single entry so far about the titular tune!
So, in lieu of any news right now, I offer the memorable lyrics to “Hotel Yorba” (track deux on the album White Blood Cells.)
I was watchin’
with one eye […]

Bowling Downtown at the Red Door

Another queer spot for a gig on the Stripes’ North American tour. Last Sunday, Jack and Meg performed a short set at the Eastview Bowling Alley in Saskatoon. Check out the video below for “Let’s Build a Home” and Jack’s bowling chops!

Rock ‘n’ Roll Transit

The Stripes are looking to liven up their North American tour with a few shows in some strange locations.
On July 2nd, Jack and Meg played for a small group of fans onboard a bus in the city of Winnipeg. The set was acoustic, naturally, with such songs as “Hotel Yorba” and “Wheels on the Bus,” […]

Sister, Do You Know My Name?

Looks like rumors about our own Mr. White acting in the parody biopic Walk Hard are absolutely true.
A John C. Reilly vehicle co-written by Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin), Walk Hard will feature Jack as the King himself, Elvis Presley.
But we Yorbites know this isn’t his first foray into the acting […]

Celebrate Good Times!

Pop the cork on that champagne! The Billboard charts for the week of June 27th have Icky Thump debuting at #2! Even this early, it’s already the Stripes’ best-selling debut.
But there’s a problem, Yorbites. Guess who took #1.
Bon Jovi. Yes, hair-metal-to-country-and-western Bon Jovi, with their Lost Highway.
We can do better for Jack and Meg, […]

Can’t You Hear? They’re Selling “Rag and Bone!”

I’ve got good news and bad news, Yorbites.
Good news is that this “gatefold” red, special edition 7″ vinyl with “Rag and Bone” on the A-side is included free in an issue of NME.
The bad news? That issue’s from the week of June 5th and, no, you can’t buy a copy from the NME webstore. […]

You’re Pretty Good Looking (For A Drive)

In the future, everything will be powered by wireless electricity. Your car will drive itself, speak to you intelligently about a number of topics, and may or may not appreciate you calling it “Kitt.” Touch-screens will be integrated into every household item, including milk cartons. And, of course, Jack and Meg White will store […]

All They Got Inside Is Vacancy

Well, not for much longer!
Welcome to the Hotel Yorba. I’m Jason R. Wallace, the manager of this fine establishment, and I can tell you: once you check in, you won’t want to check out! Anything and everything you ever wanted to know about Jack, Meg and their monument to rock, the White Stripes, is right […]
