| Next, Miller shed the ‘Goober’ moniker and teamed with Jack White (now of the White Stripes) for the country-garage collaboration, Two Star Tabernacle. Along with Tracee Miller on bass and Detroit Cobras’ drummer Damian Lang, the band made only one official recording, a 7 inch for Bloodshot Records, on which they joined forces with R&B/garage legend Andre Williams. In Blanche, the band resembles a dolled-up meeting of the Stepford Wives and a Lawrence Welk gospel special. Live, the band kind of lulls the audience into their dark, awkward world, and gradually builds intensity toward a frenetic finish. Among others, the band has played with 16 Horsepower, the Handsome Family, the White Stripes, Wilco, Loretta Lynn and Calexico. The band's debut release, a 7-inch on Cass Records (US) and Loose Music (Europe), is "Who's to Say..." b/w "Superstition," released in the fall of 2003. After a tour of the UK in November of 2003, Blanche's debut album, "If We Can't Trust the Doctors...," produced by Warn Defever, David Feeny and Brendan Benson, will be released in January of 2004. *** BACK *** |
