The singer was indirectly reacting to talk that The Racontreurs is a mere side project, and says he�s very happy in his new band.
He told the NME: �This is very much a long-term project for me. I always do what�s comfortable to me. I always do what feels right.
�This record happened because I was passionate about doing it, and it's very much long-term for me. Besides, I could never shoot the bass player in The White Stripes - this band gives me the opportunity.�
The Raconteurs release their debut album �Broken Boy Soldiers� on May 15.
