About White Stripes
Detroit minimalist rock duo the White Stripes -- Jack White, guitar
and vocals, Meg White, drums -- formed in 1997 (Bastille Day, to be
precise) with the idea of making simple rock & roll music. From the
red and white peppermint candy motif of the White Stripes? debut
singles, self-titled album, and stage show to their on-the-surface
rudimentary style, they succeeded wildly and immediately with that
mission.
The first White Stripes recordings were a mix of garage rock, blues,
and the occasional show tune. In front man Jack, the White Stripes
have a formidable songwriter, guitar player, and vocalist capable of
both morphing between styles and changing the musical styles
themselves; ranging from the folk blues of Blind Willie McTell to
soaring pop and narrative pop tunes worthy of Cole Porter and into
deepest Captain Beefheart territory within the span of 15 minutes is
not an uncommon listening experience with either the White Stripes
live show or on record. In drummer Meg, the White Stripes have a
minimalist percussionist who seems to sense intuitively exactly when
to not play. The White Stripes are grounded in punk and blues, but the
undercurrent to all of their work has been the aforementioned striving
for simplicity, a love of American folk music, and a careful approach
to intriguing, emotional, and evocative lyrics not found anywhere else
in the modern punk, or garage rock.
While they may have sprung from the Detroit rock scene (and they
remain regular fixtures on the Detroit club circuit with Jack
producing or working with many Detroit-area bands), the White Stripes
quickly gained a national following after two successive tours with
independent rockers Pavement and Sleater-Kinney in 1999 and 2000.

The White Stripes released their second LP, De Stijl, in 2000 and
it further spread the group's reputation. They followed its release
with successful tours of Japan and Australia and entered the Memphis
studio of renowned producer Doug Easley for 2001's White Blood Cells.
The album was a critical smash and the White Stripes soon found
themselves, along with the Strokes and the Hives, at the forefront of
the new wave of rock & roll bands poised to take over the world. The
band certainly did their best to achieve world domination, appearing
on Late Night with David Letterman, being written about in Time, the
New Yorker and Entertainment Weekly, playing the MTV Movie Awards and
having their video for "Fell in Love with a Girl" in heavy rotation on
MTV.
The White Stripes also made the tough decision to jump to a major
label; White Blood Cells was reissued on V2 in January of 2002 and
their first two records followed suit in June. The White Stripes truly
became big time rock stars when their "Fell in Love with a Girl" clip
was nominated for four MTV Video Awards including Best Video of the
Year (alongside Eminem and *NSYNC!), Breakthrough Video, Best Special
Effects in a Video and Best Editing in a Video. That summer the group
also played four triumphant shows with the Strokes, two apiece in the
bands' respective hometowns. In spring 2003 their fourth full-length
Elephant -- recorded in two weeks at London's Toerag Studio and
dedicated to "the death of the sweetheart" -- arrived to nearly
unanimous critical acclaim.
