Ever since the Dead Weather, the new band featuring Jack White on drums and the Kills' Allison Mosshart on vocals, revealed their existence to the world in March, we've been excited to see what develops from this intriguing new supergroup.
The latest developments: Horehound, the Dead Weather's awesomely titled debut album, now has a release date and a cover.
In the U.S., Horehound will be out on July 14 on Jack White's own Third Man imprint via Warner Bros. In the UK, it's due a day earlier via Third Man/Columbia. The cover, featuring Mosshart looking about ready to eat your brain, is above.
Thus far, the Dead Weather have only played a couple of tiny shows, at the Third Man headquarters in Nashville and the Bowery Ballroom in New York. But pretty soon, a whole lot more of us will get to experience what the few lucky folks at those shows got to see. The Dead Weather have now revealed dates for a full-scale North American summer tour. The trek kicks off July 13 in D.C. after one-off June shows in Louisville, London, and Paris. Dates below.
