White has plenty of Milwaukee connections. Vanguard/Wiggle Room co-owner Chris Schulist is a longtime friend, and White’s tour DJ and professional Hype Man. The White Stripes famously played one of their first out-of-state shows at Cactus Club on November 13, 1999, opening for Schulist’s old band, The Mistreaters. That show (a Mistreaters record release show) has long been immortalized on a vinyl LP “poster” by Milwaukee artist Eric Von Munz.
