Biography:
A self-described "new band made up of old friends," the Raconteurs feature the White Stripes` Jack White and power pop maestro Brendan Benson on vocals, keyboards, and guitars, and the Greenhornes` drummer Patrick Keeler and bassist Jack Lawrence as the group`s rhythm section. The idea for the band began when Benson and White collaborated on the song "Steady, as She Goes," which later became the Raconteurs` debut single. When the duo drafted Keeler and Lawrence, they became a full-fledged band. Recording together at Benson`s East Grand Studio whenever they were available from their other projects, the Raconteurs recorded their debut album, Broken Boy Soldiers, over the span of a year and released it in spring 2006 to middling reviews but a Top Ten place on Billboard`s album charts. That year, the band also relocated to Nashville and worked on another batch of songs in between touring and dates at festivals such as Lollapalooza.
