Background
Riding to fame during the Garage Rock revival of the early 2000s, the band became an underground sensation before finally breaking into the mainstream. Formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1997, their music deftly combines elements of Rock, Punk Rock, Folk and stripped down Blues and relies on a minimalist approach to songwriting and playing. Since catching the attention of music critics and fans, the White Stripes have continued to release a number of critically and commercially successful albums. Their last album, Icky Thump, was released on June 19th, 2007. Since the release and subsequent tours in support of the album, the band has gone on hiatus to focus on other projects. -
Reunion
On February 20, 2009, Jack and Meg White performed on the final episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien. It was the first time they performed together since the abrupt cancellation of their 2007 North American tour. The duo performed "We're Going to Be Friends" from their 2002 album, White Blood Cells. Pitchfork: "We're Going to Be Friends" (Late Night With Conan O'Brien (February 21, 2009) -
Brothers and Sisters
The relationship between Meg and Jack White has been a subject of much speculation over the years. While the band originally insisted that the two were brother and sister, documents seemed to suggest that the pair had, in fact, been husband and wife (before divorcing in 2000). In later interviews, Jack White explained that the subterfuge was designed to keep the public's attention on their music rather than their relationship. -
