From Jack White and Stephen Colbert:  The Black Belles

(From Yahoo) Swarming the music headlines this week, political funnyman Stephen Colbert debuted a musical collaboration produced by the hardestworking man in music, Jack White. With the fanfare surrounding his new song "Charlene II (I'm Over You)," the sequel to "Charlene (I'm Right Behind You)," lurking as his black-suited backing band stood the Black Belles. Not to be confused as just being Colbert's band, the Black Belles are their own band--and a darn good one.

 But who are these ladies of darkness? Not much is known thus far--no names, no origins, very few photos (which only adds to the mystique). From what I could dig up from the Belle graves, the quartet is a brand-new band, discovered in the last year or so by Jack White, and they're currently signed to his Third Man Records label. Besides "Charlene," the Black Belles have only have one original recorded song, a fantastic cover of the Knickerbockers' 1960s classic "Lies," and have yet to record a debut album. (more)
