Hey, remember back in March when we presented Screaming Females as our On The Cover artist, suggesting you get acquainted — especially with their insanely talented (and young) frontwoman Marissa Paternoster? Well, if you weren’t listening to us back then, maybe you’ll listen to Jack White now.

It’s official as of today (in their words “mega-officially”), Brunswick, NJ’s diy heroes Screaming Females will be the main support on The Dead Weather’s upcoming July tour. We can’t wait to see Jack ask Marissa to join him on stage for a shred-off, only to be left in the dust by the 22-year old. Nah, we kid, we kid. We’re fans of Mr. White too, but seriously excited for the kids in SF to finally be getting some mainstream attention. Oh, and get this — they still book their own shows, and since Power Move was released on Don Giovanni, they’ve toured with Throwing Muses, Dinosaur Jr. and now The Dead Weather. Right on!

Below are the dates, mark your calendars.

All Tomorrow’s Parties’ two UK weekend festivals are starting to take shape as more bands were added to both line-ups today, including Health to ATP’s Fans Strike Back weekend and CSS to the ATP UK weekend curated by The Breeders.

The Fans Strike Back takes place May 8-10 at Butlins Holiday Resort in Minehead, England, and already features Devo, Antipop Consortium and Beirut, among others. (You can check out the full line-up here.) The latest addition to the roster includes Health, Shearwater, The Acorn and The Pink Mountaintops.

The second ATP UK weekend, curated by is one week later, May 15-17, also at Butlins Resort in Minehead. CSS and Supersuckers have been added to a line-up that already included Foals, Throwing Muses and Bon Iver.

For more information on ticket ordering, head over to ATP, and expect to be out around $300. And if you can’t justify international travel to see a good gig, there’s always ATP New York 2009, happening in September and curated by The Flaming Lips.
