Jack White and Conan O’Brien are planning something awesome.
In a tweet to his followers posted yesterday (June 9), O’Brien revealed that the White Stripes frontman and himself were planning “something cool”.
Although no other details were revealed, the post led people to a video which features White putting up a poster announced the performance, which is set to take place tonight (June 10) at 8pm.
O’Brien did offer people a hint as to what is set to go down tonight, “Hint: it involves a LOT of Tears for Fears songs.”
Chances are the two will be playing a few songs together, which is awesome.
The show or performance or whatever it is, will take place at Third Man Records in Nashville and is only for people 21 and over.
Also it is on a “1st come 1st serve” basis so if your in the area you better hurry and get your a** there.
Below is the video which promoted the event. [via Pitchfork]

In a recent interview with The Times, White Stripes frontman Jack White revealed his hopes to record a new White Stripes album soon.
Following a sudden cancellation of their 2007 World Tour after bandmate Meg White came down with anxiety problems, the duo have not played or toured together.
However in the interview with The Times Jack said he believes Meg has overcome her anxiety stating, “I don’t think her anxiety exists any more, but I don’t know.”
When asked if he hopes to record new material with her again Jack said, “I would like to.”
White said that although the two have stayed close they have yet to actually plan out time to record a new album.
“She ’s still involved and everything, but we’ve never sat down and gone: ‘OK, so don’t forget to block out three months…” he said.
“Although we never did that, even in the thick of the craziness of the White Stripes. I have nothing planned after this month coming up, but I know that it all will be filled up really fast,” he continued.
