White Stripes show at 'Icky Thump Records'

The White Stripes, or at least the Official White Stripes Extreme Shop Makeover Team*, are turning the former West Hollywood Tower Records into a specially constructed “Icky Thump Records” store for a small, promotional show. Only the first 200 fans who buy their new album, Icky Thump, at that very location beginning midnight, June 18 will make it inside the band’s first Los Angeles show since December, 2005. If the Whites build it, people will camp. Hopefully some guy will show up in a Darth Vader outfit, just for the thrill of the line.

The show itself is on Wednesday, June 20 at 7 p.m. If you miss it, which you probably will, there are future dates (with the Cold War Kids) listed on the White Stripes Official Site. And if you’re the kind of person who loves everything White Stripes (and even owns a self-airbrushed White-Stripes pillowcase) then look forward to hearing much more exclusive info about them from Paste in the future.

*Unofficial/made up/Jack and Meg could be doing this completely by themselves for all we know, but probably not, so don’t try to spy on them while they’re interior decorating
