The Dead Weather

No i am not talking about the weather outside although i do love the cold weather, anyway i am talking about a brilliant band.

So i right this blog in complete and utter ear ringing, spaced out and very pleased with the choice of taking a train ride to Birmingham to watch The Dead Weather, to be fair i was not disappointed to the say the least. If your unaware of who the fuck i am talking about think Jack White (White Stripe and Raconteurs) Alison Mosshart (The Kills and Discount) Dean Fertita (Queens of the stone age) and Jack Lawrence (Raconteurs and The Green Homehornes). In one group oh yes THE perfect super group.

(Werid ay? Get me one of them guns please i have a few i would like to gun down Madonna, La Roux Lady GaGa could really go on and on)
Anyway amazing live like i cannot express how good they are good, just unbelievable. Usually you go see a band, band members just play they own instrument, but no not the Dead Weather they where swapping around changing equipment, it felt like part of the set not hanging around for a few seconds while they got the stuff together, they worked brillant together. Although during with the song 'Will there be enough water' i think Jack and Alison may have exchanged words as she stormed off to the other side of the stage, but it felt like part of the set, considering they played it as a 'strong sexual song' with jack and alison sharing the microphone literally almost kissing thing is his married, two kids. Then again Alison is a pretty flirty person even with Jamie Hince from the Kills or Kate Moss other half to most of you.





I usually dislike female front women mostly cos they are really annoying and play on the 'i have tits and an ass i dont need to perform my tits do the talking', but fuck me Alison Mosshart is amazing front women, she sure knew how to rock it out and work the crowd. She was more then happy to jump from side to side up and down, having no care in the world only stopping for 'beer breaks'

I guess it does help that she is pretty fit actually shes well fit beyond fit. Although a few guys where shouting out 'my cock in your face' and 'let me come on you' quite insulting? Then again at the birmingham o2 academy it was a pretty random bunch of people considering The Dead Weather are a rock band, was weird to see people moshing in trackie bottoms and skin heads. Then again i was not in London so when i see them On thursday at o2 Brixton sure i will get the feel that i am at a rock gig not a football match. Although towards the end people just started crowd surfing towards the front for no reason, with only one man as security and like 5 coming over at once, many feel straight on the floor, much laughter among the crowd. Oh i am also loving Jacks hair us curly people need to stick togther and fight the power of a small plug in iron thing.

Also had a pretty good support band think they where called Creature With The Atom Brain, sorry but thats a pretty good name for a band. Had me really feeling the tuneages blasted out. Will be looking them up some time soon.

Albums HoreHound is out now: GET IT. WILL NOT REGRET IT.
