Raconteurs Members Reunite as 'Racontwoers' for Record Store Day
- Posted on Apr 13th 2010 11:30AM by Emily Tan
With other projects on their minds, it's been a while since the Raconteurs have played together. However, guitarist and singer Brendan Benson and drummer Patrick Keeler will reunite for Record Store Day on April 17 at frontman Jack White's Third Man Records in Nashville.In honor of the rerelease of 2006's 'Broken Boy Soldiers,' Benson and Keeler will play several of the band's classics as the "Racontwoers." Third Man will also be selling 300 Copper Colored Record Store Day limited editions of the band's debut album, while attendees will be able to receive a black-and-blue vinyl version of the day's performance.
Aside from the promise of good music, BBQ and popsicles, fans can get a Polaroid photo taken with the three remaining Go Karts from the 'Steady as She Goes' video, which will be on display. Anyone who buys something from the shop will have the chance to go home with either Brendon Benson's or Jack Lawrence's Go Kart. The third Go Kart -- Jack White's "Copper Kid" -- will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with proceeds going to benefit the Nashville Homeless Mission.
Doors will open at noon CT on April 17, and the Racontwoers are set to play at 3PM.
