Lalo Medina was the tour manager for The White Stripes, and is currently tour manager for Jack White, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather. Lalo is easily recognizable in the tour crew due to his sweet beard and spectacles, and pretty much always wears the standard bowling hat and a tie that matches the band he's managing.

According to Allison Mosshart, The Kills' tour bus was stolen in Los Angeles, and promptly found by Lalo. "The manhunt was called off when the bus -- but not the driver -- was found behind a Best Western in L.A. by our friend Lalo Medina, who kept me abreast, minute by minute, like an episode of Cops, as 10 armed policemen and a helicopter arrived on the scene and entered the bus. Lalo, the coolest dude alive, very nicely packed it up and sent it to us. The weird part was that all of the driver’s things were on the bus, too -- his jacket still on the back of the seat and the keys still in the ignition. He left the motor running, and the generator died when the gas finally ran out. The bus was pitch-black and couldn’t be started -- Lalo had to pack the bus up using a flashlight."

Lalo has also been the tour manager for The Mars Volta for many years, and has also worked for My Chemical Romance, Ozomatli, and Jurassic 5, among others.
