Jack White's new project The Raconteurs suffered a minor setback last week when they learned that they will be unable to use the name in Australia. Upon learning that a jazz band based in the land Down Under already owned rights to the name, Jack White's Raconteurs have opted to use The Saboteurs for Aussie marketing purposes. Embodying the "spirit of espionage and subversion" may seem like fun to Jack White and company, but surely they must be wondering how their lawyers seemingly forgot to make the simplest of International trademark searches.
While Jack White under any name probably sounds as sweet, the release of The Raconteurs/Saboteurs new album Broken Boy Soldiers remains May 15.
