The Black Keys announce side-project The White Strings

The duo that is  Dan Auerbach (guitar, vocals) and Patrick Carney (drums) are going to be going around as a alter-ego of themselves as The White Strings, the side-project will be the duo playing Ska covers from the late 1980's and 1990's, and will only be playing in venues that hold 300 people or less in an attempt at playing more intimate gigs.

Speaking about the new project Dan has been quoted saying "I'm not going to hide it, we love Ska music and always have done" ... adding ... "nothing at all, look at the date!"
