I just checked my watch, and yeah... it's about goddamn time. With the U.S. release of their debut album, Broken Boy Soldiers, happening today courtesy of Third Man Records/V2, the Raconteurs couldn't hold in a North American tour any longer. The Jack White/Brendan Benson/Greenhornes collab tried to help itself, but they just had to type type type (or pay someone else to do so) a long list of new gigs in that old green Apple computer font on their official website. The result?
Racontour:
05-18 New York, NY - Tower Records (instore)
06-07 Los Angeles, CA - Henry Fonda Theater
06-21 London, England - Hyde Park (Wireless Festival)

In more pressing news, Jack White recently became a first-time daddy. In keeping with the White Stripes' infamous color scheme, he and his wife Karen Elson named their new baby girl Scarlett. HahahhAwwww.
