Review: The Dead Weather @ The Vic

Get two of the most explosive front people in rock today on a stage and you naturally expect an incredible show. Jack White's newest project The Dead Weather did not fail in delivering all of what these combined bands have to offer.
A foursome combining The Kills' front woman Alison Mosshart, Queen of the Stone Age's keyboardist Dean Fertita, Raconteurs' Jack Lawrence and of course Jack White. The electrifying combination only intensifies on stage. Of course it appeared everyone was there to see White, but the real attraction is the gritty lustful vocals of Mosshart. Even when she is not singing, you cannot keep your eyes off her black magic movement.
One cannot discount White's talents, which elegantly shifted from drums, lead guitar and vocals. But it is obviously apparent he has been waiting for a project where he experiment with percussion sounds.
This show is a must see if you are able to go tonight or in any other city as they continue their Horehound tour. The abrasive dynamic of this group is magnetizing and a great sound for the summer.

SAW THEM IN NEW ORLEANS THIS PAST WEEKEND! This being said, I second everything you said. Alison has a stage presence that just can't be beat and Jack is amazing with whatever he is doing. He has been most creative in the percussion area and I think that's his strongest. Dean and Jack L are amazing complements to the two who have no problem making a unique experience out of a show. Amazing.
