Pitchfork

Photos by William Kirk

To celebrate the release of their fantastic new album Icky Thump, the White Stripes have launched a full-scale attack on America's two largest cities. First, New York: On Monday night, they rocked "Late Night With Conan O'Brien", playing "Icky Thump" and "Effect and Cause". Then, last night, they hit up the Fillmore New York (ugh, we hate writing that) at Irving Plaza, treating a relatively small number of fans to tunes from the new album as well as old favorites. Pitchfork photographer William Kirk was one of the lucky few who got in, and he's sent back these snaps from the show.

Today, it's off to Los Angeles, where Jack and Meg will set up shop at "Icky Thump Records"-- aka the old Tower Records location on Sunset Boulevard-- for an in-store set tonight. Stay tuned to the Icky Thump Records YouTube channel for play-by-play coverage.
