The Winning Ticket: The Dead Weather
image courtesy of The Dead Weather.
As a way to say thanks to our loyal readers, We Love DC will be giving away a pair of tickets to a 9:30 Club concert to one lucky reader each week. Check back here every Wednesday morning at 9am to find out what tickets we’re giving away and leave a comment for your chance to be the lucky winner!
We are giving away tickets to another scorching hot show this week! This week’s prize: a pair of tickets to catch The Dead Weather at their sold out show at the 9:30 Club on Tuesday, July 13th.
Not that this Jack White/Alison Mosshart super-group really needs any introduction to those readers who would kill for these tix; but for those passer-bys that might want to roll the dice this week, I’ll say that The Dead Weather are a formidable foursome cranking out some of the very best and weirdest down-home, bad-mutha, rock-n-roll this side of the Mississippi. Masterminded by Jack White of The White Stripes, supported by multi-instrumentalists Dean Fertita of QOTSA and Jack Lawrence of The Greenhornes, and led by a reinvented femme-fatale, bad-ass in Alison Mosshart of The Kills; The Dead Weather have made two killer albums that offer a danger-cool sound all their own. Their sound is sweaty, bible-belt, sinning preachers; paint-peeled rocking chairs on rickety porches; sneaked belts of whiskey behind wood-sheds; Jim Thompson novel climaxes along thorny creek-beds littered with rusty Studebaker husks. In other words, their music is a dark, sexy, humid swirl of southern-tinged rock awesomeness and winning these tickets will be your passport to The Dead Weather’s night of swampy, foot-stomp, crazy.
For your chance to win these tickets simply leave a comment on this post using a valid email address between 9am and 4pm today. One entry per email address, please. If today doesn’t turn out to be your lucky day, check back here each Wednesday for a chance to win tickets to other great concerts.
For the rules of this giveaway…
Comments will be closed at 4pm and a winner will be randomly selected. The winner will be notified by email. The winner must respond to our email within 24 hours or they will forfeit their tickets and we will pick another winner.
Tickets will be available to the winner at will call at the 9:30 club one hour before doors open on the night of the concert. The tickets must be claimed with a valid ID. The winner must be old enough to attend the specific concert or must have a parent’s permission to enter if he/she is under 18 years old.

July 7th, 2010 at 10:27 am
I think Jack White is a master genius and I am blown to bits that this show was sold out before I got to get tickets. Can I have them, please? Pretty please with Jack and Allison on top?? :)
July 7th, 2010 at 10:27 am
I have to be there to see Jack White play his one-string homemade guitar from “It Might Get Loud”…
July 7th, 2010 at 10:28 am
I like music. And tickets that let me listen to good music. *hint hint*
July 7th, 2010 at 10:28 am
I would LOVE tickets

July 7th, 2010 at 10:29 am
This would be a great Wednesday surprise!
July 7th, 2010 at 10:30 am
Their last 9:30 show was really strong.
July 7th, 2010 at 10:31 am
YES, I could use a danger-laden, whiskey-soaked night of rock and roll these days.
July 7th, 2010 at 10:32 am
Maybe I’ll win…
July 7th, 2010 at 10:33 am
If I don’t win, I’ll have the “Blue Blood Blues.”

July 7th, 2010 at 10:54 am
Jack White is a musical messiah.
July 7th, 2010 at 10:54 am
I believe I own everything Jack White has ever recorded that is for sale. Seeing The Dead Weather would be like going to church with sweaty, bible belt, sinning preachers…a life requirement!
July 7th, 2010 at 10:56 am
Their shows last year were simply amazing. Intense, raw and perfect.
July 7th, 2010 at 10:58 am
bring it on!
July 7th, 2010 at 10:59 am
I say, Treat Me Like Your Mother & share those 2 tickets or else, I’ll be forced to grow 60 Feet Tall & Hang You From The Heavens. The Difference Between Us is that I won’t even feel any Blue Blood Blues after doing it. I’ll be honest, I just want to join the Sea Of Cowards at this show next week, I don’t want to be a Jawbreaker. (PLEASE & THANK YOU!!!)
July 7th, 2010 at 11:00 am
Jack White is God.
July 7th, 2010 at 11:04 am
Yay, Dead Weather tix!
July 7th, 2010 at 11:05 am
