The Dead Weather To Play Free Gig

Our idle speculation earlier in the week has proved true: Jack White, best known as one half of the White Stripes, has announced his band The Dead Weather are to play a free Halloween gig in London on Saturday night, a day after their HMV Forum show. The band will perform at the pop-up shop that White's record company, Third Man Records, are opening tomorrow in Shoreditch Church. The gig is free, and is scheduled to begin at 8pm, but getting there early is probably a good idea. Oh, and there may be prizes for the audience members drenched in the most fake blood; corn syrup and food colouring is apparently the way to go there.
