Jack White has unveiled yet another "side project" band. Already a member of musical heavyweights The White Stripes and The Raconteurs, White's new band is named The Dead Weather. The announcement of the band accompanied the grand opening of White's Third Man Records in Nashville.

The Dead Weather is a supergroup of sorts, featuring members from other bands: Alison Mosshart (The Kills) sings, Dean Fertita (Queens of the Stone Age) plays guitar, and Jack Lawrence (most recently The Raconteurs) plays bass. Perhaps most interesting is White's role in the band: he plays the drums. "Tonight was the first time I played drums on stage since I was a teenager," White told The New York Times.
