The Saboteurs – Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler – have announced today’s release of their new EP, LIVE AT ELECTRIC LADY, exclusively via Spotify. Recorded in late 2019, the EP includes seven explosive live tracks recorded at the legendary New York City studio, showcasing favourites like ‘Level’ and ‘Old Enough’ alongside songs from last year’s chart-topping HELP US STRANGER. In addition, LIVE AT ELECTRIC LADY features a special introduction from famed filmmaker Jim Jarmusch as well as an electrifying bonus studio version of Richard Hell and the Voidoids’ seminal ‘Blank Generation’, recorded that day.
Furthermore, THE SABOTEURS PRESENT LIVE AT ELECTRIC LADY, THE ENHANCED ALBUM will be visually enhanced with a number of Spotify Canvas and Storylines incorporating never-before-seen video footage from the event. Highlights include Jarmusch’s exclusive interview with The Saboteurs as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of ‘Blank Generation’, featuring a special visit from original Voidoids guitarist Ivan Julian explaining the song’s instantly identifiable guitar hook to the band.
“I’ve always loved that guitar part and never really sat down and exactly figured out what he’s doing,” says Jack White. “How amazing for Ivan to show up and show us how to do it.”
As if all that weren’t enough, LIVE AT ELECTRIC LADY is accompanied by a full-length one-hour documentary, streaming now via YouTube.
HELP US STRANGER, the acclaimed third studio album from The Saboteurs, debuted at #1 on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 upon its June 2019 release – the band’s first-ever #1 and third consecutive trip to the top 10. The album also debuted atop the Physical Albums chart and as well as the Vinyl Albums chart. In fact, HELP US STRANGER garnered the sixth-highest first-week vinyl sales in the SoundScan era (with Jack White holding the #1 and #4 spots for LAZARETTO and BOARDING HOUSE REACH, respectively). The album was also the first #1 for an independent record company in 2019 and the fourth consecutive Billboard #1 for Jack White as an artist. In addition to its chart-topping achievements here in the United States, HELP US STRANGER also debuted at #1 on the album sales chart in Canada and #2 on the overall Canadian album chart. The success continued in the UK where the album took the top spot on the UK vinyl chart, along with being the #3 independent album and #8 on the Official UK Albums chart.

About ELECTRIC LADY
With origins steeped in Jimi Hendrix, Patti Smith, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, and many others, New York City’s legendary Electric Lady Studios has inspired the world’s greatest artists for five decades running. Introduced as “A Jimi Hendrix Vision,” Electric Lady opened its doors in 1970 and became the first recording facility owned, operated, and imagined by a musician for musicians. Today, the studio hosts a new generation of groundbreaking artists such as Jack Antonoff, Childish Gambino, James Blake, St. Vincent, and Lana Del Rey. It is the oldest operational recording facility in the Northeastern United States.
Electric Lady’s ongoing collaboration with Spotify includes a partnership with its Spotify Singles program, which has taken up residency in one of the studio’s five rooms and has been recording new music with artists such as Daniel Caesar and Vampire Weekend since early last year.
“It is an amazing relationship and something that we hope continues for years to come,” says Lee Foster, Electric Lady’s Operating Partner. “We are grateful for Spotify’s support and help in continuing the studio’s great legacy — and to The Saboteurs for providing a legendary day of music.”

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
