THE WHITE STRIPES

Name: The White Stripes                                                               
Origin: Michigan, USA                                                                 
                                                                                       
The White Stripes are a Grammy Award winning American alternative rock duo from       
Michigan, consisting of Jack White (principal songwriter, vocals, guitar, piano)       
and Meg White (drums, percussion, vocals), and are often considered one of the         
pioneers of the new rock scene. The group rose to prominence as part of the           
garage rock revival with their successful albums White Blood Cells and Elephant.       
The White Stripes are known for their raw, low-fidelity sound and simplicity of       
composition and arrangement, mostly inspired by punk rock, blues rock,                 
folk rock, and country music. July 14, 2007, marked their tenth                       
anniversary as a band, with a show held at the Savoy Theatre in Glace Bay, Nova       
Scotia, selling out in twelve minutes.
