Blanche
From Stripespedia
Blanche is an American alternative-country band from Detroit, Michigan. Their music is based in Americana, early country and folk blues with a touch of haunting Southern Gothic stylings and garage rock mentality. Blanche is known for wearing vintage fashion of the early- to mid-20th Century.
Blanche has toured as openers for The White Stripes. The band opened for The White Stripes in 2004 on January 28th in Blackpool, UK -- this date was one of the two that The White Stripes recorded for Under Blackpool Lights. The band opened for both The White Stripes and Loretta Lynn at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City in April 2003. They joined The White Stripes and The Flaming Lips for New Year's Eve the following December in Chicago.
