Background
Jack White has stated Blunderbuss is a record he could not release until now. He went on to state; "I've put off making records under my own name for a long time but these songs feel like they could only be presented under my name. These songs were written from scratch, had nothing to do with anyone or anything else but my own expression, my own colors on my own canvas."[3] To promote Blunderbuss, Jack White performed on Saturday Night Live, on March 3, 2012, with Lindsay Lohan being the host. White performed "Love Interruption" and "Sixteen Saltines" with two different backing bands. One backing band being an all male band, and the band being an all female band.
