Jack White’s New Band: The Dead Weather

My man Jack White announced the formation of a new band, The Dead Weather, this week.  The supergroup features Alison Mosshart, of the London-based The Kills as lead singer; Dean Fertita of Queens of the Stone Age on guitar; and Jack Lawrence, from the Raconteurs, on bass. The renowned guitarist, Jack White, plays drums. Go figure.

Their debut album Horehound will be released in June.  The single “Hang You From the Heavens” is available now on iTunes.

Video: Bishop Allen – “Dimmer”

The new video for Bishop Allen‘s “Dimmer” off their Grrr album released this week. Sounds like this album is going to be a Judah favorite!  They’ll be making the rounds at SXSW and recommend them live.  Their Broken Strings tour was one of my surprise favorite live performances of 2008!
