No More Secret Shows?
Word from the official White wire:
Dear candy cane children,
The White Stripes are announcing that the “single note performance” in Newfoundland will be their last secret/side/B show for quite sometime. Every free performance was a success on the brink of disaster, and the band regrettably must retire them for the time being… undefeated! The Stripes did their best to ensure that fans of the band knew about the shows before anyone else, and are very happy for those who were able to find out and attend. The fans have been very supportive and aiding in the events, and Jack and Meg are gleeful by the way the shows have been received. But alas, before the performances become expected, or people start the inevitable misunderstanding of the true purpose of them (or worse), The Stripes feel it wise to keep these experiences memorable, and not let them turn perfunctory. Thanks to all who helped.
I believe it’s a good move. Heaven forbid the Stripes become merely “that band that does fishing boat gigs.”
