Another Side Band

I always thought the White Stripes were OK. I appreciate what they are after but never blown away. Ractonteurs? A couple of songs are OK but I followed them less than even the WS. Now it looks like Jack White is in another side band: The Dead Weather. This is a nice live review from the NYT: Jack White on the Drums? Don’t Worry, He Still Sings. I have to admit to liking their first single, "Hang You From the Heavens," which loads immediately from their homepage. This one is all about the guitar sound for me, courtesy of Dean Fertita, Queens of the Stone Age. Almost reminds me of a cleaned up version of the Melvins. We'll have to see what the rest of the album is like.
