The surprises keep coming from Jack White on his Lazaretto tour.

After covering Jay Z’s “99 Problems” at a recent stop, the reigning king of the blues covered New Zealand pop-princess Lorde’s chart topper, but with a decidedly Whitean touch.

At the same stop, he brought a fan on stage to play Seven Nation Army with the band. Looks like White might be doing a little community outreach after the recent spate of bad press.

Following up on the fall 2013 tour for The Bones of What We Believe,  glaswegians CHVRCHES are returning to the U.S. I’m betting this is just the beginning, considering there’s some pretty huge holes and some noticeably absent major U.S. cities (including the already announced Austin City Limits).
