Blue Republic's My Space Band of the Week: The Raconteurs

Oh what a wild Rock N Roll week it has been and will be. A packed week coming up and we all thought it couldn't get any bigger when last week the Raconteurs announced they were just going to go ahead and make their North American concert debut right here in New York City at Irving Plaza this coming Friday. Who are the Raconteurs? Just about the most anticipated project of the last few years. The White Stripes' Jack White and solo artist Brendan Benson have teamed up for a dual songwriting/dual guitar lead and have a solid rhythym section to make the band stick: The Greenhornes' Patrick Keeler on drums and The Greenhornes' bassist/Blanche's autoharp & banjo player, Little Jack Lawrence.

Check out the video for their first single, "Steady As She Goes" on my page. Then head over to their page, and their official site, for more visuals and sounds.
