41 - The Raconteurs



And I got what I got all despite you
And I get what I get just to spite you


Just missing the top 40 is another supergroup/sideproject, the Raconteurs. They feature the duo of Jack White and Brendan Benson on guitar.

Wiki - The Raconteurs (also known as The Saboteurs in Australia) are a rock band that was formed in Detroit, Michigan, featuring four members known for other musical projects: Jack White (of The White Stripes and The Dead Weather), Brendan Benson (solo), Jack Lawrence (of The Greenhornes, Blanche and The Dead Weather), and Patrick Keeler (also of The Greenhornes).

In an interview in February 2010 Brendan Benson stated that the future of The Raconteurs was ambiguous, stating "I think we're all just really focused on other things". He went on to add that "it will come around and we'll get together again and hang out and maybe make a record or maybe not".

You will see more of Jack White in the very near future...
