Jack White's The Raconteurs change name to The Saboteurs

Just when you think you've started to understand Jack White(and Brendan Benson)'s little side project The Raconteurs, they decided to do something fancy and change their name due to a name clash with an Australian jazz band! Yep, The Raconteurs have now officially changed their name to The Saboteurs! Well, in Australia at least... here's what Jack (and Brendan too!) had to say:

“The Raconteurs name was already taken by a jazz band, to make things easier, and in the spirit of espionage and subversion, we have decided to become The Saboteurs in Australia only."

You've got to admit that it's a hell of a lot better than The Raconteurs [insert year here]. You can read more at Remote Control where they're getting ready to release The Saboteurs debut album Broken Boy Soldiers on May 13 which I'm sure will provide them with great import sales from Jack White fanclub. In the meantime why not have a listen to this fine B-Side from The Raconteurs... err... The Saboteurs' debut single.

The Raconteurs Saboteurs - Store Bought Bones

You can buy the single from 78 Records who will probably be a good source to import the Australian versions of the band's releases.
