Yes, long before his White Stripes days, Jack White was employed in Detroit as an upholsterer. His upholstery mentor and Brian Muldoon briefly formed a band with him called The Upholsterers.

The duo recorded two singles together. The first of these, Apple of My Eye, was released on a small label called Sympathy for the Record Industry in 2000. The second, "Your Furniture Was Always Dead I Was Just Afraid to Tell You," was supposedly pressed to 100 vinyl copies, and hidden by the duo inside of 100 pieces of furniture they were upholstering.
