Operators : True (2014)

-          First single from Dan Boeckner’s (Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs & Divine Fits) latest project.

Review of Show

Jack White : I Think I Found The Culprit : Lazaretto (2014)

-       2nd solo album out June 9

-       Bringing more of the older, more aggressive style White Stripes' fans were used to.

-       Hi solo debut, 2012's Blunberbuss was a much slower, folkier album.
