The Dead Weather Wow Fans At Brixton Academy

The Dead Weather played a triumphant sell out show at London's Brixton Academy last night (Thursday October 28).

The band, consisting of Jack White, The Kills Alison Mosshart and members of Queens of The Stone Age and The Raconteurs, played an hour long set featuring material from their debut album 'Horehound' as well as new unrecorded material.

White introduced one new song, 'Jawbreaker', by saying, "We just wrote this song this afternoon and have never played it before.

Despite playing drums for the band Jack White regularly came out to the front of the stage to duet with Mossheart and play guitar much to the delight of the audience.

After an encore of 'Cuts Like A Buffalo' and 'Treat Me Like Your Mother' the band left the stage with White inviting the whole audience to their free show at St Leonards Church in Shoreditch this Saturday.

I'm sorry, there's too much hype associated with TDW. I thought the gig lacked any thrills and was quite dull. A band too focused on being cool than delivering a great gig experience. Shame, was really looking forward to it. Thought Creature with the Atom Brain played a good set.

Thats rubbish the band are cool without trying it was the best gig I have been to in ages the atmosphere was electric and Alison was mesmerizing. I can't wait for a new album and to see them again. x

I thought it was an excellent gig & agree with Char; The best gig I have seen for a long long time. JWs drumming was better than I anticipated. He had a sort of Keith Moon approach [energy wise]. A very powerful sound from the whole band.
