The Dead Weather

In all this health talk we need a little dark, dreary, and good soul rock 'n roll. My boyfriend and I hit up the House of Blues, San Diego, last night to catch The Dead Weather show. I was seriously surprised and the AMAZING show they put on! The intimacy of the venue combined with their dark stage presence was unprecedented in my show experience. I'd describe them as the Adams Family with rhythm 'n blues. The lead vocalist, Alison Mosshart, is another bread of chick. She's a screamer, a seductress, and wildly entertaining all backed by the ingenious musicality of Jack White originally from The White Stripes. For a newly formed band, the musicianship is awesome. Their tight and all band members rotate and play multiple different instruments. They rocked HOB and the crowd bringing me a guttural feeling that everyone has and shouldn't tuck away inside - let out your angst (it's healthy =)! Check it out:
