Appuntamento interessante, anche se 55 euro sono uno sproposito...
The White Stripes
24-Aug-2004
The White Stripes, famous rock & roll duo, play Marley Park on Tuesday, the 24th of August.
The White Stripes have been key players in the modern day rock & roll revivial that has taken place over the last few years. Alongside bands like The Strokes and The Hives, The White Stripes have reminded us why rock & roll was so good in the first place. Loud, funny, infectious, dangerous, The White Stripes comprise all the best qualities of rock music and they look pretty smart too.
The White Stripes were formed in 1997 and features the musical talents of Jack White on guitar and vocals and Meg White on drums. Coming from Detroit, The White Stripes sound is similar to other Motor City bands like The Stooges and The MC5s. By taking the bass end out of their sound, The White Stripes came up with a far more unruly, garage sound that dips into divergent influences like the folk blues of Blind Willie McTell to the glorious pop of The Kinks. Their fascination with red and white was evident on their debut single, their debut album and their early live shows and the band soon became a big name on the Detroit rock scene.
The White Stripes began to make waves in the US after two tours with Pavement and Sleater-Kinney. The release of their second album, De Stijl spread their gospel even further with tours of Japan and Australia. The White Stripes' third album, White Blood Cells was the band's breakthrough album featuring the smash hit single, "Fell in Love with a Girl". The inventive video for "Fell in Love with a Girl" got heavy rotation on MTV and was nominated for four MTV Video Awards.
The White Stripes' success saw the band move to a major label, V2 and their first three albums were re-released in 2002. Last year the band released their most recent album, Elephant and the single "Seventh Nation Army" sealed the bands place in popular culture with musicians around the world referencing the song's iconic riff. The best of the new generation of rock & roll bands if only because they know how to keep things loud, simple and immediate, The White Stripes play Marley Park on the 24th of August.
