Before the White Stripes, there was TWO STAR TABERNACLE. Not all the stars were aligned for this early band of Jack's, but at least two got it together for some interesting releases that provide a fascinating look into the proto-stripes era - and we cover it all in this deep dive extravaganza! As we've discovered time and again, Detroit rockers often took up residence in two bands or more at any given time - and a young Jack White was no exception. With his stint as drummer in Goober and the Peas over, Jack explored the possibilities of playing in the high octane rock band "The Go" as well as start to plant the seed of an idea for performing alongside his wife Meg under the elaborate and colorful identity "The White Stripes". But Jack and Dan "Goober" Miller's collaborations were also far from over, and along with Tracee Mae Miller and Damian Lang "Two Star Tabernacle" was born. A punk rock band with hillbilly country flavor was an odd combo, but the cow-punk songs of the newly christened Two Star Tabernacle were actually quite ahead of their time in a lot of ways. So ahead of their time, in fact, that many of the contributions from Jack would eventually see release years later on The White Stripes breakthrough LP "White Blood Cells", and Miller's tracks on Blanche releases. So grab your cowboy hat and your leather jacket and join the third men as we explore just what on earth happened to Two Star Tabernacle! Also this week we're joined by third man Brian Walter to answer YOUR listener questions! Who's to say you'll love this episode? Well, WE do!
