The Raconteurs Frontman Hints At Band's Future
08/12/2010
.
(Gibson) Brendan Benson, solo artist and co-frontman for The Raconteurs, recently discussed the possibility of more music coming from the band – which also features Jack White, Patrick Keeler and "Little" Jack Lawrence. Benson told NME.com that all four members are excited to work together again, but that it will have to wait while Keeler and Lawrence reunite and tour with The Greenhornes."We're all busy," Benson said. "Patrick and LJ [Lawrence] are starting The Greenhornes again, putting that back together and I think they're touring, which is great news because that's been a long time coming. They had a record that they sat on forever during The Raconteurs, so that's finally coming out and, of course, Jack [White] has The Dead Weather and all that." But Benson said fans probably haven't heard the last from The Raconteurs (who have released two albums so far: 2006's Broken Boy Soldiers and 2008's Consolers of the Lonely). "We haven't talked about it, but [doing more]'s not out of the question. The Raconteurs is a band that was founded on this impulsive basis," he said. "It was always spontaneous for us and we want to keep it that way. So when the time is right and everyone converges we'll do it." -
