Jack White's new side project the Dead Weather will make their public debut next week in NYC at a show at the Bowery Ballroom. The date: April 14, with tickets going onsale tomorrow (April 10) at 10am EST.

The quartet - White, the Kills' vocalist Alison Mossheart, Raconteurs/Greenhornes/Blanche utility man Jack Lawrence and Waxwings/Queens of the Stone Age multiinstrumentalist Dean Fertita - has a new album titled Horehound due in June (a single, "Hang You From the Heavens" b/w a cover of Gary Numan's "Are Friends Electric?" is already out at iTunes). The Dead Weather made their initial appearance in March at White's Third Man Records office in Nashville, performing for about 150 specially invited people, but the Bowery show will mark the group's official coming out party.

The band recorded the record at Third Man Studios earlier this year. The album will be the first full-length release on Third Man Records, which is now fully operational and has its own building/live space/photographer's studio and dark room in downtown Nashville.

A full tour for the Dead Weather will be announced shortly.
