White Mystery

The White Stripes, The Black Keys and now...White Mystery. Apparently if you're a duo looking to make garage-inspired blues rock these days, a two-word black/white combo name makes for a good template. The Chicago-based White Mystery is a brother/sister duo of guitar and drums based heavily upon the wailing, soulful croon of Alex White. Thrashing along behind her, Francis Scott Key White does a fantastic job keeping pace with the raucous material being belted out by his sister. The frizzed-out, puffs of red hair owned by the two make for interesting viewing as the duo cranks out its almost punk rock take on modern blues.
