"The Raconteurs, also known as The Saboteurs in Australia, are a rock band, featuring several members previously known for other musical projects. According to the current definition, The Raconteurs qualify as a rock-and-roll supergroup, featuring the songwriting of Jack White of The White Stripes and Brendan Benson, who are both from Detroit, Michigan. In the band's own words, however, they are not a supergroup, asserting that the term implies something pre-planned, whereas they are actually 'a new band made up of old friends.'

According to the official website, 'The seed was sown in an attic in the middle of a hot summer when friends Jack White and Brendan Benson got together and wrote a song that truly inspired them. This song was 'Steady, As She Goes' and the inspiration led to the creation of a full band with the addition of Lawrence and Keeler.' The band came together in Detroit during 2005 and recorded when time allowed for the remainder of the year."
