Here is some information from the web:
In the late 90's Jack White was in numerous short lived bands such as, Goober and the Peas, The Go, Two-Star Tabernacle in the Detroit area, he was also working as an upholsterer. He was working in an upholstery apprenticeship with a family friend Brian Muldoon in Detroit, Michigan. The two formed a short lived band and released a seven inch. Jack White played guitar, covered vocals and piano, while Muldoon covered the drums and created sounds utilizing a worm gear saw. The seven inch, which would be titled Makers of High Grade Suites, was released in the year 2000 on the Sympathy For The Record Industry label.
The songs were recorded and produced by Jim Diamond in Detroit at Ghetto Recorders (White and Muldoon also did some producing too). The seven inch contained three songs all drawing on Blues, Punk, and Garage musical stylings. There were only three songs on this release, "Apple of My Eye" (a Jack White original), "Ain't Superstitious" (a Willy Dixon cover), and "Pain (Give Me Sympathy)"(a cover of a song by a Texas 60's artist Jack Star). It was given a limited edition run (100 copies), and featured numerous inserts all pertaining to upholstery. This now highly collectable side project featuring Jack White
One of the things I always loved The White Stripes for was Meg White. Not only because she's cute, but also because her style of drumming is really fresh. What would the band play like if she actually gained some proper drum training? The Upholsterers' only record is the anwser to that question. Suprisingly, the music with beefed up drumming does not lose anything from its quality. Moreover, the combination of the childish simplicity of the guitar work by Jack White and Brian Muldoons brilliant drumming results in one of the best garage rock singles ever. The opening song, "Apple Of My Eye", is extremely simple when it comes both to music and lyrics that it is surprising, how such a banal song could be so powerful and angry. "I Ain't Superstitious" is probably the most demented version of the original Willie Dixon's song you could ever imagine. I have never heard such a subversive blues cover before. The last song, "Pain (Gimme Sympathy)", with a fantastic main riff, is probably the most "whitestripe-ish" song on the record.
