Let's Keep This Morning's Dead Weather Ball Rollin & DiE BY THE DROP!

If You Don't Lose Your Shit At A Dead Weather Concert, You Do NOT Deserve To Be There!

"Jack White laid into the celebrity-filled audience at The Dead Weather's gig at Don Hill's in New York on Wednesday (August 4), labelling them "hip motherfuckers".

The band were playing a secret show at the relaunch party of Don Hill's to an audience who included the likes of Sean Lennon, Liv Tyler, Alexa Chung and Mary-Kate Olsen.

According to New York Daily News, White is said to have taken offence at the less-than-enthusiastic crowd.

"Fuck you, you hip motherfuckers!" he told the audience at one point. "Why don't you rock the fuck out? Maybe I should go grab those free drinks and shove them down your throats, you hip motherfuckers!""

How can you watch-hear something like this & not move your ass? Don't these people know that rock & roll is here to set us free???


Badass. Right? Right.

Jack White Is My Rock God. Alison Mosshart Is Cool As Hell. & The Dead Weather? Pure Heaven. Get A Lil Slice Of It For Yourself This Summer & RAWK ON!

"It was a full-on pagan rock'n'roll ritual. The altar: one of the best rock venues in the country, Washington's D.C.'s 9:30 Club. Onstage, four stuffed goat's heads were mounted on the Dead Weather's lighting gear, staring out at the sold-out room. A giant glowing eye, a trick of painted curtain and clever light, peered down at the room from near the rafters. Smoke hissed out from sidestage, hanging a milky haze through the crowd.

Then the four-piece supergroup of Jack White, the Kills' Alison Mosshart, Queens of the Stone Age's Dean Fertita, and Raconteur Jack Lawrence started playing. Slowly.

So began the Dead Weather's summer club tour."

The Dead Weather At The Wiltern

Billy & I had the best time seeing The Dead Weather play The Wiltern last month. They're soooo good & we followed that up the very next day with a trip out to Pasadena to catch "It Might Get Loud" then a swing through Third Man Records pop up store to nab some Horehound on vinyl. It was a very Jack Whitey kinda week, which really is my favorite kind.

So... are you ready for a shitload of blurry pictures?! If you're as big a fan of The Dead Weather as I am, then I'm guessing that you are. Of course, even the best photography could never make up for seeing this epic band live, so, if you haven't done so already, maybe you'll be lucky enough to catch em at Austin City Limits next month. They'll be there & then all over Europe soon after. Rock & Roll!















And, if you still haven't had enough, I suggest you check out this interview Alison Mosshart did recently with Urban Outfitters.
