Posted March 12, 200916 yr The White Stripes' Jack White and The Kills' Alison Mosshart have formed a new band – The Dead Weather. The band, which also features Jack Lawrence of White's 'other' band The Raconteurs and Dean Fertita of Queens Of The Stone Age, played a gig in the offices of White's label Third Man Records in Nashville last night (March 11) in front of 150 people. The collective are set to release an album, 'Horehound', in June, , according to Thirdmanrecords.com. The album was produced by White and will feature lead single 'Hang You From The Heavens', which you can hear by clicking on the video below. Plus see Thedeadweather.com for more information.

March 12, 200916 yr :mellow: It just sounds like The Kills pretty much? What is the point of this "supergroup" other than having a very elitest, well-to-do selection of musicians as members?
March 13, 200916 yr Maybe they just got together and tried a few tracks and their respective groups weren't doing/up for much and so they felt like putting this out? Whichever, I couldn't give a monkeys...it sounds to me (surprisingly(!)) like a mix of The Kills and White Stripes...but slightly more leaning toward The Kills...and unfortunately in this instance that's a bad thing. I'd rate it 4/10. :(
