Dead Weather

In keeping with The Kills in Aus check out Alison Mosshart, Jack White,Dean Feritia (Queens of the Stoneage) and Jack Lawrence (Greenhornes and Racounteurs) new group Dead Weather. They played their first gig the other week in Detroit to 150 fans, family and record label ppl.The guests exchanged their letter-pressed invitations for limited edition 7″ vinyl pressings of The Dead Weather’s debut single “Hang You From The Heavens” (with a cover of Gary Numan’s “Are Friends Electric?”). The Dead Weather hand painted each of the 150 7″ records that also included a different photo booth strip of the band members.

Downloads of these two songs are now available exclusively through iTunes

Listen to them here!!!!

I have to be who I am. This is hard. It’s oldMcQueen, aggressive McQueen. In this business, you have to beaggressive and have aggressive feelings.” he said. Yeh dawwwg.

This is Balmain’s AW09 collection from Paris fashion week. Hot as usual. Apparently two models almost got gridlocked trying to get past each other. This was due to the massive exaggerated shoulders Balmain is now known for.
