The Raconteurs have announced the imminent release of a new documentary film and live EP. Both are titled Live At Electric Lady and are due out this Friday, May 29th.
The two projects capture the Jack White-led band in an intimate concert event at New York City's legendary Electric Lady Studios. The 60-minute doc and Spotify-exclusive live EP will feature favorites from all three Raconteurs albums.
In a trailer for the documentary, White says, “Everyone who is a musician on stage is doing something that they love, and they’re trying to share it with someone else. Some people fall into the trap of being about authenticity, but I don’t think it’s about that. I think it’s about the attitude of what you did was the best part — not whether you got all the notes right, but your point of what you were trying to accomplish was evidenced to us in the crowd.”
The Raconteurs released their first album in 11 years, Help Us Stranger, last June. The band's shows in support of the disc were their first in eight years.
