The group were part of the garage rock scene in nearby Detroit, whose most famous export was the White Stripes. The band had both personal and professional associations with both Jack and Meg White. Jack White appeared on the b-side of the Soledad Brothers' debut single and went on to produce their eponymous debut LP in 2000, upon which Meg provided some percussion. Johnny Walker also played guitar on two tracks on the White Stripes debut LP. Prior to forming the Soledad Brothers, Walker and Swank had been in the garage band Henry & June. In later years the White Stripes would cover their 'Goin' Back To Memphis' in their live shows, for example in the band's live set from Peel Acres on 08 November 2001.
