Jack White has announced plans to release a new The White Stripes live DVD.
His label Third Man Records will release Under New Zealand Lights, as part of the 12th installment of the Vault subscription series.
The film culls footage from two early New Zealand performances in November 2000 at the King’s Arms in Auckland, during the band’s first international tour, as well as a October 2003 performance for students at the Freeman’s Bay Primary School.
A seven inch release with unearthed tracks, “Open Your Eyes” and “You Make a Fool Out of Me”, from The Raconteurs’ Consolers Of The Lonely sessions will also be released. White is also due to reissue two early singles by The White Stripes for Record Store Day on April 21.
