White Stripes to play free show on LA's Sunset Strip

Got this from "Live Daily" and think its VERY COOL of them to have such a fun time for the fans while promoting their new music. (I miss Tower Records!!!!)

With the launch of their summer tour just days away, garage-rock revivalists The White Stripes will play a free show Wednesday (6/20) in Los Angeles for about 200 fans.The ersatz sister/brother duo of Jack and Meg White will celebrate Tuesday's (6/19) release of its new album, "Icky Thump," by turning the landmark Sunset Strip storefront of the defunct Tower Records music chain into "Icky Thump Records." The store will act as a real retail outfit this week, offering just one item for sale: the band's new album.

Tickets for the show, which is set to begin around 7 p.m. PDT, will be given out to those who buy the album at the store after midnight on Monday (6/18). Some tickets will be made available through various radio-station promotions in the Los Angeles area as well.
