The Raconteurs (via nickdavis)
For those of you who don’t know who this is…let me enlighten you. This is Brendan Benson of the Raconteurs. He is the other lead singer with Jack White (who everybody knows). He has a very heavy influence on the sound of this band and it is just perfect. He also has a solo career and is truly a wonderful song writer…. and he looks like a lion. Major plus because lions are fierce. He is so calm and cool when he plays that is just seems like we are witnessing him jamming out in a garage somewhere and he is letting us watch. Jack, on the other hand, is the very maticulous raw kind of rocker. He has thought out every move, every finger, every detail. Their opposites create a wonderful blend of two different worlds that keep their music honest, pure, unexpected and totally freakin’ rocked out awesome. Not to mention, that this is my new FAVORITE concert t-shirt…. ever. Nick got a press pass to be three freakin’ feet away from the band with total access to the front of the stage for the first three songs. He got some amazing pics. My favorite part of the night…. when Nick came back to meet me after those three magical songs and the look of utter childish joy spreading across his face. We decided why musicians are so much cooler than movie stars…. b/c we can get close to them. We can pay money and get to see famous people in our own city actually doing what they are famous for…. in the flesh. This was an unforgettable night. We are SO lucky…. we like good music.
