Jack White Electrifies With New Songs ‘Derecho Demonico’ & ‘G.O.D. And The Broken Ribs’ on ‘SNL’: The Detroit rocker returned as musical guest alongside host Jack Black on April 4th.
After making a cameo in a star-studded monologue alongside host Jack Black, the 50-year-old Detroit rocker took the stage to deliver two just-released, electrifying tracks: For his first performance, White appeared on a blue-lit stage stacked with wooden crates and a white statue featuring a glass skeleton head, performing “Derecho Demonico” with a backing band. Later in the show, he returned wearing a jacket emblazoned with a NASA logo — likely a nod to the recently launched, moon-bound Artemis II mission — to deliver the feral “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs.
“Well, it’s the beginning of the world now/ And there’s nobody left… Let’s start again… Let’s do it all over again,” the artist sings on the track.
During the opening monologue, White joined in for a surprise performance of the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army.” The segment also featured host Black alongside several returning members of the show’s Five-Timers Club, including Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Candice Bergen and Melissa McCarthy.
Saturday’s episode marked Black’s fifth time hosting, while White served as the musical guest for the the sixth time, including his SNL debut with the White Stripes in 2002.
Musical guest Jack White performs “G.O.D. And The Broken Ribs” on Saturday Night Live.
Both tracks have been produced by White with backing from his longtime live band, Patrick Keeler (drums), Dominic Davis (bass) and Bobby Emmet (keys).
The songs are released ahead of his sixth appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend – with host, Jack Black.
Both are available now via Third Man Records at all DSPs and streaming services. A limited-edition Tri-Color and Black 7” vinyl will go on sale on April 4th at thirdmanrecords.com and Third Man shops in Nashville, Detroit and London.
