The Raconteurs are an American rock band featuring the songwriting of Jack White, of The White Stripes and singer songwriter Brendan Benson.
In their own words, The Raconteurs are “a new band made up of old friends.”

The full band consists of:

Jack White (The White Stripes) - vocals, guitars, keyboards
Brendan Benson- vocals, guitars, keyboards
Jack Lawrence (The Greenhornes, Blanche) - bass guitar
Patrick Keeler (The Greenhornes) - drums

Dean Fertita from The Waxwings does live keyboards for the band; he also played in Brendan Benson’s band and is now touring with Queens Of The Stone Age.

The band had to change their name in Australia, since there already was a band named The Raconteurs there. The band is named The Saboteurs in Australia.

Steady As She Goes and Call It A Day are my favorite music of the Raconteurs. I don't like other musics, but they have many potential to produce better albums!

The tag should be "Steady, As She Goes", like on the backside of the cd.

Theyre called sabateurs over here in australia, its a pain in the arse, just because we had another band already called raconteurs and they refused to change the name. I however, refuse to call them sabateurs. theres my ten cents. ha.
