The Dead Weather

THE DEAD WEATHER
 
 
The Dead Weather  is an American rock supergroup, formed in Nashville, Tennessee in 2009, composed of Alison Mosshart (of The Kills and Discount), Jack White (formerly of The White Stripes and currently of The Raconteurs), Dean Fertita (of Queens of the Stone Age), and Jack Lawrence (of The Raconteurs, The Greenhornes, and City and Colour).  The band’s second studio album, Sea of Cowards, was released first in Ireland on May 7, 2010, then on May 10 and 11 in the United Kingdom and the United States, respectively.  Dodge and Burn, their third studio album, was released in September 2015.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

 

 

The Dead Weather is Jack White’s current band and was organized in 2009; other bandmembers include Jack Lawrence of the Greenhornes, Dean Fertita (previously in Queens of the Stone Age – he also contributed to the Raconteurs album Consolers of the Lonely), and Alison Mosshart (lead singer of the indie rock band the Kills). 

 

The genesis of the band sprung from a concert by the Raconteurs in Memphis, when Jack White lost his voice; he asked Alison Mosshart to fill in for him on vocals.  He later asked her to record a song with him and Jack Lawrence, and they met Dean Fertita at the studio.  The Dead Weather has released two studio albums, Horehound (2009) and Sea of Cowards (2010); Live at Third Man Records West came out between these two.  Another album is promised in 2015.
