ALISON MOSSHART
There aren’t many female contemporary musicians whose style is quite as universally envied as Alison Mosshart, front woman for The Kills and sometimes front rower, the 31-year-old American vocalist added another notable string to her bow: fronting the alt-rock ‘supergroup’ The Dead Weather. It’s the latest project for the hardest working man in rock’n’roll — Jack White of The White Stripes/The Raconteurs/Third Man Records. There’s not a huge difference between her two current groups; in fact, the latter could be said to be a louder, heavier version of the former. Not quite there, she recently held a solo art exhibition ‘Fire Power’ a month ago. For us, she’s like a Kate Moss’ arch-nemesis in indie music.
