Saying that he likes the raw, untrained quality of Stern's vocals, White Stripes front man Jack White has teamed up with NBA commissioner David Stern in his latest side project, called Lakota Brick. According to the 33-year-old White, the band consists of himself, primarily on reed organ, and Stern, 66, on vocals and electric guitar. 'The Raconteurs allowed me to experiment with more of a poppy sound, and the Dead Weather is more loose and sexual. I think in Lakota Brick, with David's ability to attack the microphone, we get something completely unhinged and almost frightening,' said White, adding that the band recorded its first album, Confederation Of Seven, in one week at his Nashville studio. 'David is also an excellent lyricist. He came in with about a dozen composition notebooks filled with songs, and he also did the album's artwork.' White added that Lakota Brick would be performing a series of surprise concerts throughout New Zealand in August.
