I’m a huge fan of supporting local and underground music. But that’s not what this is about. This is about the White Stripes newest release, “Under Great White Northern Lights” a combo dvd and live album (the band’s first live album release).
In 2007 the duo toured Canada. Besides playing the usual venues they challenged themselves and played in buses, cafés and for Indian tribal elders.
Music video director Emmett Malloy followed the band and managed to capture both the special tour, extraordinary concert versions of the band’s minimalist, raw, blues-inspired rock songs and the special relationship between the extroverted Jack White and the introspective Meg White.
The film makes striking use of the band’s concert colors: red, white and black.
