Pretty cool concept...I'd be disappointed if I didn't have tix to the Chicago show in August! :D

I do have tickets to the July show and Bonnaroo and I already saw them in Vegas, but i've wasted oppurtunities seeing Jack bands before and ended up kicking myself.

As first reported elsewhere this week, alt-rock supergroup The Dead Weather will be playing a free, first-come, first-served, “secret” (their quotes) show this Saturday at a location to be announced via Facebook literally hours before the concert. Could this unorthodox rollout mark the brave new future of secret shows and social-media marketing? The A.V. Club doesn’t think so, and here’s why:

It’s really just part of a product-launch campaign

The forward-thinking little start-up behind this idea, Microsoft, already pulled the same stunt with a N.E.R.D. concert last week in San Francisco to promote its new mobile communications device. Perhaps the company has bowed to these hard economic times, forgoing the excess that greeted past Microsoft product launches; or maybe the folks from Redmond would simply rather talk about the mostly well-received Sea Of Cowards than respond to the torching their new social-media toy has received in the tech press. Whatever the case, remember: no matter how fun it looks, it’s still an advertisement.

From TMR

Free show today in Chicago!
The Dead Weather are playing a free show tonight at 8PM at Marquardt Trucking Company at Aberdeen (between W. Monroe and Madison) in Chicago, with our friend DJ Ben Swank warming things up. Not only is it FREE to get in, its an OPEN BAR, but NO guestlist. It's purely first come first served and it is 21 and up so we’d recommend grabbing your friends and getting down there as soon as possible to hold your place in line.
I'd like to sleep 100 days, my feeling has gone, flesh cold and numb.

Sounds awesome. Except for the fact that it's a big Microsoft Kin advertisement.

I would imagine Jack doesn't do much he doesn't want to do, unless Karen asks. Somebody wrote a check.
I got that deep into variants once before with a collection, please shoot me if I go there again, it will drive you crazy I promise...
But nice stuff for sure.
