Tight Stripes: Jack and Meg play one-second gig
- Artists:
- The White Stripes »
Blink and you’ll miss ‘em - The White Stripes have played a one-second gig this week as part of their unorthodox Canadian tour.
Honestly, if it was anyone else we’d be starting to resent the free publicity.
Hundreds of fans flocked to a last-minute show in St John's on July 16 to hear Jack and Meg play a single note – allegedly a C-sharp - before announcing that they have "now officially played in every province and territory in Canada".
The band went on to play a full set across town later that evening at the Mile One Stadium.
Other highlights of the band’s quirky tour include gigs on boats, bridges, classrooms and suchlike.
Video’s below, send us your one word reviews of the performance and we’ll see if we can’t find us a winner.

The White Stripes
sounded like an F to me
although there was lots of bend in it
PS
the joke is implied
Or is it focused?
It is an 'F' as the poster above says.
S-S-S-S-Saigon....
.....
Unctious
is my word. You liked it, you cant unlike it.
^^^WINNER
well done you get:
a young knives jar of marmalade (mouldy)
a sachet of wonka fun dip sent to us by a thoughtful japanese band
a pen lid, or something like that.
don't bother leaving an address, i'll know where to find you.
I have to agree...
... that was definitely an F
How thoroughly Napalm Death
1, 2, 3, 4, GRRRRUUNNNTT! (end).
It is...
DEFINITELY an F.
Sufficient
...because "Adequately Satisfactory" is one word too long.
.....
canada?
moist
.
gutted
.
transitory...
yeah... like that one don't you. x
F lolz
I like how the various news reports have just plucked c sharp out of thin air, like they think people wont care or notice that they've just made i up. Lol. You can just imagine them in their office..
Ooh. What note was it?
I know a note! How about a.. c sharp?
wow, is that a real note?
Yes
Brilliant. We'll go with that.
Sounds awesome.
I think you'll find...
that contained within that grunt are clearly the words "You suffer, but why?"
BUT WHY?
It's sad when bands
or singers get to the stage where they think they can do absolutely anything and get away with it with their adoring fans.
This is the most cuntish thing I've heard since I read about J-lo having one eyebrow technician for each eyebrow (though, different, obvs).
What harm would it have done to do a three song set?
I was going to order their back catalogue because I kinda missed having some of their stuff, but fuck 'em. They're not THAT good.
Oh my god
That was AWESOME. I don't care if it was silly and /or pretentious and silly!
Uncompromising!
Are they sure it wasn't a D-flat?
Nah
i think this is a great statement. i would be pleased to have 'seen' the White Stripes 'play' for free in the street like this, and i like them a lot. i especially like it that the crowd seem to enjoy it.
