The Dead Weather announced today that their debut album, Horehound, will be given unto us on July 14, by way of Third Man Records/Warner Brothers. As rock bands often do, the D.W. will hit the road in support of the album. (The tour is said to be "kicking off" in Louisville June 11, even though there's over a month between that show and the next one, at the 9:30 Club in D.C. on July 13.)
What this means for Nashville is that The Dead Weather will bring their four pieces of "dirge rock" to our own War Memorial Auditorium on July 30.
Limited pre-sale tickets will be available this Wednesday, May 13 at 11 a.m. through the band's website, thedeadweather.com. And apparently, if you buy pre-sale tickets you can get the new album at a discount.
