The Dead Weather's Horehound
The Dead Weather
NEW THIS WEEK - Although I don't talk about him much (don't need to...) Jack White is one of the greatest living musicians [recommended click]. Having seen him harness nature with the White Stripes and let it rip with the Raconteurs, we are definitely looking forward to seeing him play live in The Dead Weather. (Dates below...) This time around, White plays drums, produces and splits lead vocals with Alison Mosshart (The Kills) while Dean Fertita (Queens of the Stone Age) plays guitar and Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs) plays bass on this project. The band released their debut album this week titled, Horehound. Their debut video just surfaced:
Treat Me Like Your Mother
a film by Jonathan Glazer
HOW A BAND BECOMES A BAND - White became acquainted with the music of The Kills after Mosshart and the group opened up for the Raconteurs [click] on tour. (For those with good memories, this is pretty much exactly how White came to meet Lawrence, whose original band, The Greenhornes [recommended click] opened up for the White Stripes a few years back. White is a barometer for awe-inspiring talent... Here's a sample of what you can expect on Horehound:
