Jack White, so far best kown as frontman of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs, has returned to his first love: drumming. Jack, who started playing drums at the age of five, is occupying the drum stool again in a new band called The Dead Weather.

The line-up is rounded out by Alison Mosshart of The Kills, along with Jack Lawrence of The Raconteurs and Dean Fertita of Queens Of The Stone Age.
The freshly formed group performed a showcase in the offices of Jack White\'s label Third Man Records in Nashville last month and will perform their first public show at Bowery Ballroom in New York on April 14, 2009.
The Dead Weather are currently gearing up for the release of their debut album ‘Horehound’, which was recorded at Third Man Studios earlier this year and will be released in June. The album was produced by Jack White.
The lead single, Hang You From The Heavens, is backed up by a cover of Gary Numan\'s Are Friends Electric? and is already available on iTunes.
