The White Stripes Across Canada: St. John's, NL, End Of The Road!

You can forgive Newfoundlanders and Labradorians for being skeptical. After all, it's a pretty common occurrence for us to hear about a "coast-to-coast" tour that only stops in Halifax to represent its eastern commitments. When The White Stripes promised a tour that included St. John's, many of us were unsure whether or not this would...

The White Stripes Across Canada: Moncton, NB

By Ben Conoley (CHARTattack) July 19, 2007 4:00 pm
The White Stripes' first east coast show on their cross-Canada extravaganza landed Jack and Meg in Moncton, where they demonstrated just how loud a couple of ex-lovers could play rock 'n' roll. Message board detectives were spitting out a number of possible locations where the Stripes may have been preparing to play one of their much-talked-...

Spin a White Stripes record and you get some sweet music. But seeing the band up close and personal is a completely different experience — something of a sugar rush, if you will. Indeed, just like the peppermint-candy decor on Meg White's drums and the incessant beat she generates, the concert held Friday night inside an old cargo shed on...

Blinding strobe lights, thrilling electric guitar and the heart-thumping boom of drum beats? That definitely ain't your good ol' fashioned Cape Breton kitchen party. But despite a whole lot of noise and lights on stage, bona fide rock stars The White Stripes turned their 10th anniversary concert into a family reunion at an intimate venue nestled...

In an area know for potatoes, seafood and the warmest waters north of the Carolinas, Charlottetown, P.E.I. isn't what you think of as a typical touring destination for rock bands looking to sell tickets. Known as a summer destination playground, you're bound to find more Anne Of Green Gables impersonators than rock stars. On July 11, however,...

"Every man, woman and child, eight to 80, blind, crippled and crazy..." Jack White has a gift for summing up a show, nay a tour, at this point. From the hipsters clad head to toe in black to the 11-year-old kid beside me, who was beside himself in awe, to the elephantine and hirsute shirtless guy who somehow managed to get dragged out...

The last day of June saw the sun wedge its way between the clouds, allowing heat-thirsty Edmontonians to emerge from hibernation with short shorts and designer sunglasses. However, while many may credit Saturday's busy streets with the welcoming weather, everyone knows that a rumoured free White Stripes show was what really woke up the city....

Canada Day in Saskatchewan is a funny thing. For the majority of the population, this holiday generally involves getting cross-eyed drunk on pilsner, listening to "Summer Of '69" at ear-splitting volume and wildly overestimating the Roughriders chances of winning the Grey Cup. It's not a glamorous life, but it's simply how things are...

When Jack and Meg White announced that they'd finally roll their peppermint drum kit into Winnipeg, the response was surprisingly underwhelming. Tickets didn't sell out right away and the only bubbling excitement came from true blue — well, red — fans. Thankfully, the 6,000 Winnipeggers who did come out to the MTS Centre gave The White Stripes...

With the Stampede only a week away, the park around the Saddledome was full of half-assembled rides and empty fry shacks. Walking toward the 'Dome for Friday's White Stripes show, there was only one question on my mind: would the duo throw in enough curveballs to keep me from yawning? Hitting the simple red stage promptly at 8:45 p.m., the...

"Is it OK if we play longer than we usually do?" Jack White asked the beyond-capacity crowd at Monday night's concert in Whitehorse. "We don't know when we're coming back here." "But we're coming back," he added. Playing about 30 minutes longer than the previous night's show in Burnaby, B.C., Jack was true to his...

In theory, kicking off a summer tour across Canada in late June on the sunny left coast seems like a grand idea, an icky thump of an idea, if you will (got that one out of the way early). But unfortunately for The White Stripes, this has been an uncharacteristically bummer of a June. Not enough sun and too much rain, which does nothing for the...

The White Stripes — Icky Thump

By Noah Love (CHARTattack) June 19, 2007 6:59 pm
The problem with attention deficit-prone visionaries is that they're always more focused on what interests them the most. I honestly don't think Jack White's heart is really in The White Stripes anymore, but his wallet certainly is. As such, Icky Thump is a complicated record. Where White's work with The Raconteurs saw him creating something...

It was only four years ago that The White Stripes rescued us from boy band purgatory, using intense riffs and pounding drums to bring rock 'n' roll back to radio. Now, on the band's fifth disc, the Stripes opt for marimba over distorted mess. From disc opener and single "Blue Orchid" — a powerful rocker showcasing Jack White's familiar upper...

The Drums are back with a sophomore album called Portamento on Sept. 13. Regardless of what it'll sound like, Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire will probably still say there's "no soul in that band." The third in Radiohead's series of 12-inch vinyl remixes of tunes from this year's The King Of Limbs is out "in two weeks." Yeah, there's no...
