Okay, we’re still obsessed with the awesomely strange video for the Dead Weather’s “Cut Like a Buffalo” (check it out after the jump). You may remember that Jack White, Alison Mosshart & Co. played Terminal 5 in July (plus a very sweaty pop-up show, reviewed here)—and the band returned to NYC last night for this relatively intimate gig at Music Hall of Williamsburg in advance of tonight’s MTV Woodie awards, proving again that as a live prospect, the Dead Weather is a juddering, squealing force to be reckoned with. Check out pics of the show by TONY photographer Lizz Kuehl.

After months of anticipation—drummed up by secret performances and shaky YouTube videos—Them Crooked Vultures will finally take the stage at Roseland Ballroom tonight. Comprising Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones, the rock trio may be the most buzzed-about band of the year, but they’re not the only recent supergroup to grab our attention. Need more proof? Well, since January we’ve heard new music from…
Monsters of Folk: Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis from Bright Eyes; and Jim James from My Morning Jacket, M. Ward Tinted Windows: Taylor Hanson from Hanson, James Iha from the Smashing Pumpkins, Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne, and Bun E. Carlos from Cheap Trick Chickenfoot: Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony from Van Halen, Joe Satriani, and Chad Smith from Red Hot Chili Peppers

Details about Karen O’s music for the film adaptation of the children’s classic Where the Wild Things Are are out, and the list of collaborators includes members of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Dead Weather, Deerhunter’s Bradford Cox and more.

This just in: To mark the release of The Dead Weather’s Horehound album, Jack White’s Third Man Records will open a special pop-up store in NYC, which you can visit next Thursday and Friday (July 16 and 17) only. Fans of the Dead Weather can snap up a copy of the record, as well as other bits of Third Man merch (last time we checked it had some lovely buttons) at 31 Chrystie Street, between Broome and Delancey, between 10am and 6pm. And yes, we hope as much as you do that it’s Jack behind the register.
The Dead Weather’s debut album, Horehound, comes out Tuesday (July 14)—but you can listen to Jack White and Alison Mosshart get steamy and screechy all day today right here. Packet of cigarettes and sunglasses at the ready.
Meantime, check out Jay Ruttenberg’s review of the band’s much-hyped NYC show here.
The big Jack White news these days is the Dead Weather, the new rock quartet in which the star plays drums behind Kills singer Alison Mosshart. The band’s full-length, Horehound, doesn’t come out until next month, yet the four musicians have already graced the cover of Spin and arranged for a busy summer of touring, including New York shows on July 16 and 17 at the capacious Terminal 5. Their Bowery Ballroom appearance was one of April’s hot-ticket shows.
White is the most intriguing rock star of his era, and his mind could add a thrill to any project. (Susan Boyle: Meet your new producer!) Yet as with the Raconteurs, the Dead Weather draws out the musician’s more pedestrian tendencies—his adoration of classic rock formulas and his status as a humble band member rather than otherworldly star. Even as the White Stripes sit dormant, it is in that duo that Jack White remains Jack White: a proud eccentric, stubborn freak, bent genius. (For Time Out’s 2003 White Stripes interview, click here.) The pair’s performance on Conan O’Brien’s Late Night finale was roundly criticized, but it provided an absolutely singular TV moment—the type of dodge in which Dylan has long specialized. For what it’s worth, the White Stripes’ performance was roughly 10 billion times more interesting than Pearl Jam’s insipid showing on O’Brien’s Tonight Show debut.
The more exciting news from White HQ concerns not the Dead Weather but the musician’s label, Third Man, now also a Nashville record store…
Not too many people had the chance to see Jack White’s new band, the Dead Weather, when it came through town the last time (our own Jay Ruttenberg got in; his recap of the Bowery Ballroom show is here). Well, now the side-side project is playing a larger venue, and we’re here to tell you to get your credit cards and computers ready for this Friday at noon. No, that’s not when the show is—it’s when you can grab tickets here for the July 16 show at Terminal 5. And, in case you need any convincing, here is the quartet’s video for “Hang You from the Heavens”:
It’s no surprise that Jack White is a perfectly good drummer—probably more technically proficient than his sister Meg, but nowhere near as stylish or soulful. Apart from one thrilling guitar spot, it was at the drum kit where White sat for last night’s set by his latest band, the Dead Weather. Watching Michael Jordan play baseball was always kind of fun; the Dead Weather show was too. Read more »
Come on, Jack White. We really thought you were ready to show the Raconteurs their way out the door when you appeared with Meg for the last Late Night with Conan O’Brien. We thought to ourselves, The White Stripes are back.
How foolish. We should’ve know you’d start another band with members from the Kills, Queens of the Stone Age and the aforementioned White Stripes side project. What we could have never guessed: that you’d be playing drums.
