Third Man Records

As promised, we will be releasing a new Blue Series single from Jeff The Brotherhood this coming Tuesday (10/4).

Produced by Jack White, the a-side is a droning 6 and 1/2 minute jam called "Whatever I Want" and the b-side is a killer version of the Tiger B. Smith rocker "Everything I Need.” Both tunes are incredible and we are overly-excited to be working with the fellas who are one of the best bands out there working today.

100 copies of the Tri-Color versions of the single will be available for purchase at the Third Man Records Nashville location at 10am on release day - Tuesday, Oct. 4.

You can check out the covers for the single below (click to enlarge). More to follow on this, so stay tuned...

The Black Belles new single 'Honky Tonk Horror' backed w/ 'Dead Shoe' is here!

Buy the 7" vinyl from the TMR online store or get it on iTunes.

We wanted to give Vault Members an update on the Vault Number 9 package that you are probably by now eagerly watching your postbox for...

There was, unfortunately, a manufacturing defect with the DVDs that were to be included. Rather then sending these out and replacing them later, we thought better to hold off on the whole package until the newer, functioning DVDs were delivered and we could provide you with a complete more enjoyable package. SO, those DVDs will be with us shortly and Vault Number 9 will begin shipping within the next two weeks. We do apologize for the delay and inconvenience.

Thanks to everybody that made it out to the Soundland show here at Third Man on Friday nite and out to the Black Belles and Jeff shows at the Neuhoff Factory on Saturday!

In case you missed Friday, the Alabama Shakes blasted through a set of Alabama soul-stew. You'll definitely be hearing a lot more about them soon. Pujol compared Hans Condor to a wasp eating the head off a grasshopper and Pujol was awesome as always. Timmy Vulgar and Human Eye's exploratory psych, art punk re-confirmed that they are definitely one of the most interesting and talented bands out there today. Finally Neil Hamburger had us all laughing at things that had us wondering, "should I be laughing at this?".

We'll keep everybody who pre-ordered black and blues of Human Eye and Neil Hamburger posted on when those arrive….

Saturday's Soundland activities at The Neuhoff Factory Party Stage (that's amouthful) was good times galore. Black Belles and JEFF The Brotherhoodkilled it, per usual and the Rolling Record Store dazzled and did brisktrade. We still have some Honky Tonk Horror Tri Colors left, so pay attention to The Vault and see what we're gonna do with em!

You can view pics of Friday's show at TMR on the right and check out pics from Saturday at the Neuhoff Factory below.

Speaking of awesome live stuff. The Ted Leo Live At Third Man record we recorded a while back is now out and available in our store. Which also means that the split color Black & Blues that attendees pre-ordered at the show are now ready for collection. Just bring your receipt down to our record shop and let the nice gals behind the counter know you’re there for your beautiful piece of wax. Bango. All set.

Lastly, the standard version of Karen Elson’s ‘Vicious’ single is now available in our webstore, iTunes, and in finer record shops. With beautiful cover art by David Swanson, even if you purchased the Rose Petal version on record store day, this little beauty is a must have.

Last week was a such a blast around TMR HQ, we really want to thank all of you who were able to make it here for The Raconteurs for their first show in nearly 3 years with Pokey LaFarge, or the next night at The Ryman for The Raconteurs with Pokey and JEFF The Brotherhood, or at MI Fest for The Raconteurs with JEFF The Brotherhood, Black Milk, PUJOL, The Black Belles, and The Thornbills.

A thrilling and exhausting week for sure and we personally can’t even express how great it was to see one of our favorite bands back on the stage again. Absolutely heartwarming, engaging, rocked out and lovely. Just really, a great week over all.

If you were not able to be here with us, we hope you can check out some of The Raconteurs other shows upcoming over the next few months.
