On the verge of the July 14th release of their debut album Horehound, The Dead Weather announce the uncensored Cinemax debut of the short “Treat Me Like Your Mother.” The groundbreaking film was directed by Jonathan Glazer, whose credits range from such highly-acclaimed feature films as Sexy Beast and Birth to award-winning music videos for Radiohead.  In a rare event, the film will premiere in full on Cinemax on July 11th at 9:55 p.m. and continue to air on all of the Cinemax multiplex channels for the following five weeks.

This will be just the second time in Cinemax’s history that they will debut a music short.  The Dead Weather are the critically acclaimed new rock band composed of Dean Fertita (Queens Of The Stone Age), Jack Lawrence (The Greenhornes/The Raconteurs), Alison Mosshart (The Kills) and Jack White (The White Stripes/The Raconteurs). “It was overwhelmingly electric working with Jonathan Glazer on this project, which feels more short film than video,” said White. “I’ve never felt an intensity like I did on the set of this shoot.  Absolutely violent, explosive, and poetic.” “Theirs was a beautiful energy to tap in to,” explained Glazer. “You can’t ask for anything more.” Check out the “Treat Me Like Your Mother” trailer at www.thedeadweather.com/treatmelikeyourmother
