‘Believe The Hype’ On The White Stripes
Tony Hicks of the Contra Costa Times heaped praise on The White Stripes following their gig at the Fillmore on Tuesday night. Hicks said, “Believe the hype — these two take simplicity and turn it on its ear with crunch, heartfelt singing, and the ability to take a song up and down with dynamics blending with the simplicity in a way not heard since, perhaps, Nirvana. Calling someone a garage musician has again become a compliment, and these two are turning garage music into sonic art.” Bayarea.com has since removed the article.
