The White Stripes would like to announce that today, February 2nd, 2011, their band has officially ended and will make no further new recordings or perform live.

The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in good health.

It is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve What is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way.

Meg and Jack want to thank every one of their fans and admirers for the incredible support they have given throughout the 13 plus years of the White Stripes’ intense and incredible career.

Third Man Records will continue to put out unreleased live and studio recordings from The White Stripes in their Vault Subscription record club, as well as through regular channels.

Both Meg and Jack hope this decision isn’t met with sorrow by their fans but that it is seen as a positive move done out of respect for the art and music that the band has created. It is also done with the utmost respect to those fans who’ve shared in those creations, with their feelings considered greatly.

With that in mind the band have this to say:

“The White Stripes do not belong to Meg and Jack anymore. The White Stripes belong to you now and you can do with it whatever you want. The beauty of art and music is that it can last forever if people want it to. Thank you for sharing this experience. Your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful.”

Sincerely,
Meg and Jack White
The White Stripes

Peabs‘ ye olde neighbor, White Stripes’ drummer Megan Martha White, will soon be breaking our hearts and our farts by marrying off her gynormus Joe E Tatas and NSFauxW sex tapes to Patti Smith’s son Jackson. this is total sh%tbull as her boobs were betrothed to us by Pope Eggs Benedict Arnold the MIXLIX (aka John Ratzenberger)‘s decree [Ms Mod’s Bod]

perv-ious disapproval of an engagement:
Christina Hendricks to a guy who looks like he smells like farts

Nut Meg:
Meg is a robot
& Californication‘s Madeleine Martin is Meg’s fUnderstudy

may you get all the zebras blowing Daniel Radcliffe that you desire, and may you wear your birthday suit like yer faux NSFW impostor in places other than our wettest of wetty dreams

The Raconteurs
Terminal 5
May 31st

The Raconteurs are easily the greatest side project band that isn’t really a side project band. We’re sure in Jack White’s mind that the White Stripes will always be first and foremost, but we bet he has a lot more fun kicking it with three talented fellas (including Brendan Benson, who’s voice is a perfect complement to White’s) than watching Meg’s main talent, her boobs, bounce up and down (seen here in all their NSFW fake glory ). Anywho, we caught the Racs the other night at the newish Terminal 5 venue, which is a purty amazing place despite being one giant fire hazard when exiting. Their new yumcredible album, Consolers Of The Lonely [buy], rocks a lot more than their debut, and thus it was no real sirprize that their show rocked a lot more than when we saw em at Lolla back in the ‘006. These babies are on the level, so if you haven’t given in yet, there’s no butter thyme than now
