On the Circuit: Raconteurs Rock Android
It's been a busy week on the circuit. Last night at Skylight Studios in Soho the Raconteurs fronted by Jack White of the White Stripes rocked an intimate crowd for the launch of the T-Mobile G1- the first smart phone to utilize the new Google Android platform. This was easily one of the best parties of the year. Having recently completed a relentless world tour, the Raconteurs played a deafening full set. This little birdy just missed them at Austin City Limits last month, but last night more than made up for it. Not to mention the food and drink- there was a Japanese candy bar, hot dogs, pretzels, assorted global tapas and yet again, Cassidy (the hardest working DJ in show business) holding down the DJ duties. More pics after the jump.

it wasnt that good. one half of the party made no sense with the other half. The band wasnt that good at all and played way too long.. killed the vibe unless u happened to be a big fan of the band. Ive seen SG do events that made a lot more sense all around.
im very suprised with all of DBTH's criticisms that he said this was "easily one of the best parties of the year" thats a bold statement and I guess hes just a big Raconteuors fan
DBTH always writes positive things about strategic group, lavo, tao, marquee, etc - don't you see a pattern here? The party sucked, and I had no idea who the band was. It was ghetto (just like the Hennessey party). It was all guys except for the 2 promoter tables with wanna-be models (and they were paid to be there). The party was horrible.
Forget about making sense... the Raconteurs were great. All depends on whether or not you like the Raconteurs. If you think they played too long, you obviously don't like them that much, but rare to see an act of their caliber play a corporate event. As for SG, if you consistently throw great events, you have respect from DBTH. Period.
i don't recall a positive post about Marquee from DBTH.
