The White Stripes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1289 words)
The White Stripes are a minimalist rock/blues duo from Detroit, composed of Jack White on guitar and lead vocals, and Meg White on drums.
The release of Elephant continued a formula for White Stripes albums begun with White Blood Cells: the first song is a single, the sleeve contains odd photographs of the band members (dominated by red, fl and white) together with a strange essay contributed by Jack, and the last song is moderately tongue-in-cheek.
The White Stripes is one of the few bands to perform on the show (on an earlier show, the group Tenacious D had performed a song after their interview).
