Jack White announced Thursday at the MTV Woodie awards that his band Dead Weather is working on a follow up album to their debut "Horehound" and hopes to have the album in stores by the time they kick off their Australian tour in March.

"We'll probably be having a new album by that time, if we're lucky. We have a lot of songs cooking right now, we've been playing a few of them live and I'm sure by March the entire 20 or 25 songs will be onstage by then," Jack White said. "We can't tell you that much about it except that it's gonna be really expansive, and I use that word loosely in a scientific sense, meaning that I'm just using it to distract you."
