We weren't able to fit every story from The White Stripes' first West Coast tour in this season, so we've included more of Ben Blackwell's recollections in this Season 2 bonus episode. Some are funny stories, others are important to the band's development, and one even involves a very special bed.

By 2001, The White Stripes were no longer Detroit’s best-kept secret. They were on the edge of something seismic. "White Blood Cells" would catapult Jack and Meg White from indie darlings to what some were calling the saviors of rock, reshaping modern music in the process.

Produced by No Smiling and Third Man Records, the upcoming Season 3 of Striped dives into this pivotal era. Through archival material, unheard stories, and firsthand accounts from those who lived it, Peabody-winning journalist Sean Cannon traces how The White Stripes went from a local buzz band to a worldwide phenomenon.
