The Dead Weather Announce New US Tour Dates

Sentimentalist Magazine’s Top Live Gigs of 2009
It’s very simple: we see many, these stuck out. Our top picks in no order are below, other than Leonard Cohen owning and deserving the very first slot.
The Kills Go Back to Work
Not that there has been a dearth of Alison Mosshart coverage thanks to a certain Horehound she’s been chewing on as of late, but for all you Kills fans out there hoping for a sign that a creature stirs – news broke Tuesday via a blog post on the band’s official website that Mosshart and Jamie Hince have indeed reconvened to lay the framework for their next, and fourth, album.
The Dead Weather and Screaming Females at Terminal 5, NYC 7/16/09
I decided long ago when I became a Kills fan that I’d probably be happy to watch Alison Mosshart do damn near anything…as a performer.
