“dead weather @ don hills an awesome, sweaty mess” – Stuart Willson

Dead Weather

The Dead Weather kicked off their set at the invite-only show at Don Hill’s last night right around the same time they were appearing on Letterman, and one night after they headlined a public show in Prospect Park.

On Letterman they played “Blue Blood Blues” with most of the focus, vocals and camera work, on drummer (and vocalist) Jack White. TV viewers seeing the band for the first time may have thought Allison was just the band’s tambourine player (and backup singer and keyboard and guitar player). At Don Hill’s they played to a beyond packed and sweaty and smoking and wasted crowd. One friend who got in told me it was “scary and dangerous but pretty sweet”.

The Don Hill’s show was billed as “pre-renovation”, but the club is not closing yet. There’s a show there tonight, and another one on Friday that will feature a set by Standard Fare (who play Bruar Falls tonight). In fact, there’s a bunch of stuff on the club’s schedule for this whole month.
