This week's news in pictures (30 May 2009)

Following the selling-out of their July 16 show, The Dead Weather, have announced a second gig in New York, to take place on July 17. The gigs, which will take place at Terminal 5, are part of the band’s upcoming debut tour of North America, which kicks off in Louisville, KY on June 11.

• It was supposed to be a party to launch a new record label, but Jack White chose the event to unveil his latest band in Nashville last week (March 11). Oh, and h's not playing guitar on it. The Death Weather performed an impromptu five-song set at the new offices of White's label Third Man Records before 150 surprised guests, who witnessed White playing drums with The Kills' Alison Mosshart on vocals.
