A LONG ROAD FOR WHITE STRIPES:
The White Stripes' have recorded the follow-up to the high impact "Elephant" and the duo is wasting no time in getting it into the stores.
The yet untitled CD, which was recorded at Jack White's Third Man Studios in Detroit, will be released June 14. There are no guest performers and all the songs were written by White.
Before that, they'll be doing some live shows in May, well off the normal rock 'n' roll path, including an opera house in the Amazon jungle --the Teatro Amazonas in Manaus, Brazil (which some will recognize from Werner Herzog's 1982 film "Fitzcarraldo"). The initial trek will stick to Mexico, Central America and South America.
"First we're going to play where we are not well known," says a typically tongue-in-cheek White. "Then if we have time, we will play New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Frankly, we are waiting for technology to advance in the United States before we attempt to perform this record live there."
The Stripes are confirmed as one of the top acts on the bill at England's Glastonbury Festival in late June, and while planning is still in the early stages, the intent is to make at least some of the U.S. dates "events" rather than just conventional concerts. "
