The Dead Weather




Jack White strikes like lightning.

It seems he has a new band aside from The White Stripes and The Raconteurs.

This time, its a band called The Dead Weather.

And, surprise...this time White is playing...drums?

The band debuted in Nashville at the downtown offices of Third Man Records.

The new band takes White from the front of the stage back behind the drum kit, while the Kills’ Alison Mosshart mostly handles singing duties. The two are joined by White’s fellow Raconteur Jack Lawrence on bass and former touring Raconteur/Queen of the Stone Age Dean Fertita on guitar.

White's new venture into the music production business promises to be very prolific.

White added, "The point is: There’s a new institution, there’s a studio, there’s a vinyl record label, there’s a pressing plant a few blocks away… Things can happen very quickly. Music will be in your hands quickly. And that’s the whole point of it.”

The Dead Weather's first album, "Horehound", will be released in June.

You can check out their new single "Hang You From The Heavens" exclusively on iTunes.
