The Dead Weather Announce New Single

• 22nd Sep 2009

The Dead Weather return with I Cut Like A Buffalo on October 26th through Third Man/Columbia. A brooding, menacing razor sharp ode to things not being quite as they seem taken from their acclaimed debut album Horehound; I Cut Like A Buffalo has already become an anthemic live favourite, as those lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the band earlier this year will testify.

The single is backed by a new cover of ' A Child of a Few Hours is Burning to Death' by The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band'. The single is released as a download & a 7” through Third Man Records.

The Dead Weather have also announced details of an additional London show as part of their full UK tour this autumn. The show sees them return to London's HMV Forum on October 30th. Tickets go on sale Friday 25th September at 9am.

These dates come hot on the heels of the release of their highly acclaimed debut album ‘Horehound’ on Third Man/Columbia Records and the handful of explosive sold-out & secret shows that they played earlier this summer. The Dead Weather have quickly carved out a reputation as one of today’s best live rock’n’roll bands and are currently tearing up and leaving town after town in their wake on their current US headline tour.

“Played live, this music is like being driven too fast in a rickety old car, frightening and thrilling in equal measure. It’s a ride I’d like to take again and again.” – The Observer

“…An even more extreme and visceral account of garageband blues-rock power… Simply sensational.” -5/5 The Times

“Theirs is music that is forged from the heart of a shimmering summer somewhere beneath the Mason Dixon line. The Dead Weather sound like a band who are very, very good in bed.” – Kerrang!
