Jack Lawrence, Alison Mosshart, Jack White and Dean Fertita are The Dead Weather

The Dead Weather - Horehound

The Dead Weather is Jack White (The White Stripes, The Raconteurs), Alison “VV” Mosshart (The Kills), Dean Fertita (Queens of the Stone Age) and Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs, The Greenhornes), which pretty much makes them a supergroup. Supergroups rank all across the spectrum, from wtf?
