New York’s Bowery Ballroom, surely one of the best venues in the country, is set to host the first major show by Jack White’s new band, the Dead Weather. Things have been moving fast since the
announcement
of the band’s formation in March, and an album titled
Horehound
, recorded at White’s Third Man Studios, is already in the can and due for release in June.
The Kills’ Alison Mosshart, Jack Lawrence of the Raconteurs and Dean Fertita of Queens of the Stone Age join White in the Dead Weather, who have already unveiled the video for their “Hang You From the Heavens” single. The track is complemented by an unlikely B-side--a cover of Tubeway Army’s “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?” that is currently streaming on the band’s website.
The show at Bowery Ballroom is on April 14 and tickets are on sale tomorrow, April 8, at 10am. This link is the one you’ll need to struggle with when the tickets go on sale, and expect them to go fast.
