07.30.2005 // GLASS HOUSE REVIEW

Rolling Stone rant and raved about the 7/28 show in Pomona, California:

"The White Stripes hit the sheds of America in support of Get Behind Me Satan beginning tonight at San Diego Street Scene. But before the duo of Jack and Meg White play to thousands, the pair got in a club gig at Pomona, California's cozy Glass House Thursday night."

07.28.2005 // MIDTOWN MUSIC FESTIVAL DOWNLOAD

Finally got around to fixing the problem I was having and with that, I have uploaded the band's performance at Atlanta's Midtown Music Festival on June 10th, 2005. Keep in mind this is a crowd recording so it's not the best quality. However, it is better than nothing. Also, I have uploaded a much better version of Jack and Meg's interview on NPR. You will want to grab that if you downloaded the previous version. You can get to the downloads page here.

07.15.2005 // GREECE GIG CUT SHORT

From NME.com:

"THE WHITE STRIPES were forced to abandon a gig in Greece after strong winds resulted in injury to a crew member.

The duo were playing the Olympic Beach Volleyball Stadium in Athens on their last night of their tour of the country when heavy winds caused the trusses holding the lights to bend, risking collapse of the lighting and the stage itself."

Also, I still have some more to post, but I finally got around to putting up some new fan artwork. To see the new additions, click here.
