While still playing The Raconteurs, Jack White and fellow Raconteurs member Jack Lawrence were already working on another project called The Dead Weather. The powerhouse lineup included Allison Mosshart of The Kills and Dean Ferita of Queens of the Stone Age. For this band, White put aside the guitar and picked up the drumsticks once again.

Although the band was conceived during a mess-around jam session, they ended up releasing Horehound (2009) and Sea of Coward (2010), both of which debuted at top ten in the U.S. Billboard album chart. In 2011, the members went back to their original bands but promised they weren’t done. In 2015, the band came back together to release Dodge and Burn.

Have you ever thought you saw Jack White in a movie? You might have.
