Jack White - Hull Venue - Press Release - The Early Bird Eater




Jacks music is like a velvet running through your veins, like a silk running over your soul.
His voice is like a lyrical whiskey passing through your ears and not your lips but seeping into your soul.
Hot, all-consuming and going down with a warm feeling.
(No pun intended)
I can't help but feel VERY VERY VERY excited about this event
JACK WHITE IS COMING TO HULL VENUE

The Grammy award-winning Jack White will perform at Hull Venue on Thursday, 18 October. Tickets go on sale 10am on Friday!
When the White Stripes started in 1997 no one, least of all White, ever expected that a red, white and black two-piece band would take hold in the mainstream world. The band's self-titled debut and sophomore effort De Stijl amassed critical acclaim and built a passionate underground following, but it was the release of 2001’s White Blood Cells that thrust the White Stripes onto magazine covers as they captivated larger audiences through worldwide touring. “Fell in Love With a Girl” served as the band’s breakthrough hit and it's accompanying Michel Gondry Lego clip was chosen by Pitchfork as the #1 music video of the 2000s.
The release of Elephant in 2003 not only cemented the band’s reputation but also offered the #1 hit single “Seven Nation Army,” which has since been appropriated as arguably the most popular chant in sports stadiums around the world.
White formed a "new band of old friends," the Raconteurs, in 2006. Their debut album Broken Boy Soldiers featured the #1 hit single "Steady, As She Goes" and showed a markedly different side of White, one where songwriting, vocal and guitar duties were shared.
Jack White released his third solo album, Boarding House Reach (Third Man/XL Recordings), in March. The album, his first in four years, was produced by Jack White III and recorded at Third Man Studio in Nashville, TN, Sear Sound in New York, NY, and Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, CA; it was mixed by Bill Skibbe, Joshua V. Smith, and White at Third Man Studio in Nashville, TN. Tickets for Jack White at Hull Venue will go on sale Friday 10am via http://bit.ly/2FgaaFg
Tickets are priced £39 (standing) and £49 (seated). Booking fees apply.

Where do I begin with Jack?
Jack is a god, he's beautiful and he's talented
Here is a clip about his LP Lazaretto
Here's a little more about 
Third Man Records actual store

This beautiful clip
 
I remember first seeing Jack and thinking 
oh boy, what the hell is going on here.
I pretty much think most of the world was out for the count with Jack and his talent.
I last saw him play in Leeds a couple of years ago, it was a little rowdy, a few eager people but then Jack played.
I was standing and was just in total shock, some people I am sure couldn't pull that stage off.
Jack seemed to have everyone in a trance, the crowd went wild and I fell instantly in love with him.
Here are a few of my all time faves I hope you enjoy Jack, his music, his talent and most of all the GOD that is Jack!


In short, this is a perfect image of how I feel about Jack, 
his music and EXACTLY how I feel when I play his music
(An image of myself)
We all know this one!
