The Dead Weather: Golden Tickets

The Dead Weather – “Golden Ticket” Contest


The Dead Weather

Taking a page from Willy Wonka, The Dead Weather placed six photo booth picture strips (in lieu of “golden tickets”) in U.S. copies of the band’s recently released debut LP, Horehound (read our review here). While two have already been found, there are still four picture strips waiting to be claimed.

Those lucky enough to find a photo booth picture strip, will win a trip to Nashville, TN for a guided tour of Jack White’s own Third Man Records. Included is round trip airfare, two night hotel accommodation and ground transportation for two. The last day to redeem picture strips is August 15. Grab a copy of Horehound (if you haven’t already) and hope for the best.

Congratulations to the first two winners:
Arthur Koziol from Chicago, IL
Andrew Fox from Maryland
