In More Dead Weather News....

According to Spin Magazine, the new Dead Weather album is almost finished!

Set for a release in April the new record will be "bluesier and heavier" than the band initially thought. Jack will even be stepping out from behind the drums and sing lead on a song called "Blue Blood Blues" - which will also be the band first single.

This is very exciting news as my copy of Horehound has been on repeat since it's release last July.

If you are a fan of The Raconteurs, Brendan Benson is doing a tour in support of his solo album. I've never seen a solo Brendan live but his sound is definitely more folk (although I haven't heard his new album My Old Familiar Friend) than the soul-crushing guitar that I'm used to with Jack White - nevertheless I'm sure Brendan will not disappoint.


A list of his tour dates are below:
