Had Kevin Arnold and Paul Pfieffer from The Wonder Years discovered weed and the Yardbirds and Black Sabbath just before graduating, gotten cool and formed a band, they would’ve been the Raconteurs.
Yes! We have a slideshow! Go Go Gadget Slideshow!
But in actuality, the Raconteurs is a supergroup consisting of Detroit powerpopists Brendan Benson, Jack White of the White Stripes and backing vests the Greenhornes. (Oh yeah, and Paul Pfeiffer is really Marilyn Manson.)
Touring behind their second album, Consolers of the Lonely, the Racs came to the Uptown last night, playing with openers Birds of Avalon from Raleigh, North Carolina.
