Jack White is excited about his new-school power-pop band, The Raconeurs, with bassist Jack Lawrence and drummer Patrick Keeler (both from Cincinnati’s Greenhornes) and old buddy Brendan Benson. “The Greenhornes would totally stay at my house when they came to Detroit — we’ve done lots of jamming over the years, and we’d recorded 45s together,” says White. Benson and White had long discussed the idea of making a record together, White tells us, “but then we said, ‘Let’s start a new band!'” The first song they wrote together is “Steady, As She Goes,” which kicks off their new album, Broken Boy Soldiers. “We’re definitely touring,” says White. “The album is coming out in May, but I wish it was coming out next week.”
