The Dead Weather Ticket Giveaway
Jack White is a modern day "Renaissance Man" if there ever was one. Whether he's part of the peppermint striped duo that was his claim to fame, or producing some of the most historic acts in music, or creating his own label and pop-up store, he keeps busy.
His latest project, The Dead Weather, boast an impressive line-up including members of The Kills, The Raconteurs, and Queens of the Stone Age. While touring with his band The Raconteurs, White's voice had some problems, and Alison Mosshart of The Kills had to fill in on some songs. The vibe felt right, and the two, along with Raconteur/Greenhorns Jack Lawrence and QOTSA Dean Fertita, combined forces to create The Dead Weather. It's gritty, dirty blues garage rock at its finest, abrasive and sexy with the powerhouse guitar licks and howls of Mosshart and White entwined.
The group is headlining The Congress during their stop in Chicago Friday night, and we've got the chance for you to see them live!
