The White Stripes
I’m so excited! My mom just told me that she might be able to get the White Stripes to Vertigo. What? You don’t know thw White Stripes? It is one of those two people bands, which if you ask me is pretty hard to do. The members of the band are Jack and Meg White. They are a band of many genres such as Punk, Blues, garage revival, and Alternative rock. One of th really cool things that I like about them is that their music really relates to spanish music. Haha, you ould almost say that their music has a spanish accent. I still remember the first time I ever heard about them It was last summer, and we just went to a place called Virgin records. I got a Switchfoot CD and my dad got a CD by the name of Icky Thump. I thought that that was a really weird name and I also did a bad thing by judging a book by it cover because when my dad played that CD, I imediatily felt a connection with my Bolivian/Mexican ancestry. Like I said before, the music had some sort of accent. I asked my dad what that song was called and he said that it was called “Icky Thump.” (See below) I thought that I should give the band another chance, and once I did, I ended up liking them.
The White Stripes origionally formed in Detroit in 1997. Their first performance was in July 14, 1997, and they should’ve been proud considering how good they are. After creating their first album, Detroit reviews said that they were “the most raw power in Detroit”. Of course my favorite album didn’t come until much later considering the fact that my dad bought it last summer saying it was just released. Well, I hope that you enjoy “Icky Thump” as much as I did. You can skip the boring anouncement or what ever it is. I hope that you detect the spanish “accent”.
