About
In his 1942 essay The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus wrote that "All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door." 15 years later Richard Wayne Penniman wrote "Wop bop a loo bop a wop bam boom", an undeniably powerful vocalization that on any given Wednesdayin any given situation, civilized or otherwise, is still fully capable of setting somebody's stuff aflame. Over ten years and seven long players into their career, White Denim are still in the relentless pursuit of a thread - in other words, a wick.
The Austin, Texas band have carefully and continuously studied the greatest records ever made, but they write songs just dumb enough to drink, dance, and fight to. Theirs is a music that aims for the whole body, while equally satisfying the mind. While it has morphed, expanded, and even burst apart, White Denim's sincere and human drive and ability to spark true rock & roll exhilaration have been unerring constants of the band's 10-year existence.
"White Denim are one of the best live bands you will ever see if you live to be a million. That's not excitable hyperbole, merely a bald statement of undeniable fact..." -- Time Out
"The last great rock & roll band!" -- The Guardian

Rating: 4 out of 5 Very skillful performance!
by staticxsea on 6/27/11Brighton Music Hall - BostonThough I was a little bummed that they didn't play many songs from their older album "Last Day of Summer", I was thoroughly impressed by the amount of skill that these musicians possessed. The riffs were extremely catchy and it was impossible not to feel moved by the music. I was also impressed by the obvious chemistry between the group. They seemed like they were genuinely excited to share their music between themselves and the audience.

by jmoarch on 6/27/11Bowery Ballroom - NEW YORKWhite Denim are one of THE best live bands you will ever see, and they proved it once again on Saturday at the Bowery Ballroom. It was my 3rd time seeing them live and I'll see them every time they come to NY. DO NOT miss this band if they come to your town. Such a cool down to earth friendly bunch of guys who are really appreciative of their fans. Search them out before the show and they're more than happy to chat...
Rating: 5 out of 5 White Denim - Mazes - The Static Jacks
by BlackMagilla on 6/27/11Brighton Music Hall - BostonI went to this event to see The Static Jacks. I've seen them several times before & have been following them since they formed. The were great, as always! They played several new songs from their forthcoming album (they recently got signed to Fearless Records). "Defend Rosie", "Girl Parts", & "Into the Sun" were fantastic. "My Parents Lied" was also great. An excellent show, I look forward to seeing them again & highly recommend that you check out their music and see them live if the opportunity arises.
