This Monday, we had the great pleasure of hosting 20 lucky Vault contest winners and a guest of their choice in the TMR Blue Room. The stars aligned for a listening party for the Dead Weather's new LP "Dodge and Burn," booming loudly through the Blue Room's infamous speaker system.
With the Stone Fox firing up the grills and the drinks flowing, head production manager Ben Blackwell first took group tours of the Third Man headquarters, from the back porch to the shipping and distribution center to the lathe room and even providing a peek into personal offices. Then, everyone congregated in the Blue Room with the Dead Weather themselves for a full preview of the new LP. Needless to say, it was an unforgettable day.
To the contest winners/listening party attendees, we invite you to share your experience in the comments section below. Hope you had as much fun as we did.

Congrats to all the winners!!!
I just saw that you guys asked for comments about the experience, so—The whole room was rocking to the album, and the atmosphere was like being at a private party, enjoying great music over a much better sound system than our own. :-) Everyone was super-gracious, kind, and welcoming, and I feel extremely lucky to have been able to attend, thanks to another super-super-gracious Vault member. (The food looked wonderful, by the way, but I was way too wound up to eat it!) Can’t wait for the album now.
What an amazing day!! I feel so lucky to have gotten selected to be part of this, one of the best experiences of my life! Everybody at TMR was amazing and everything was top notch. All the band members were super down to earth and couldn’t have been cooler to all of us. Still find it hard to sleep at night thinking about it all. Oh, and the albums is FREAKING AMAZING by the way. Best DW album to date!!
Thank you so, so much TMR and The Dead Weather, for sharing your time with the fans! I know they must have been
completely mesmerized by that experience!
Wonderful stuff!!! Congrats everyone!!!
Very gracious of TMR and the band to do this! So happy for all of you who had the chance to go!
Very cool of you to host this and of the band to so graciously participate! looks a step up from blunderbust I must say. why do I live with the parting verse of ‘entitled’ refraining through my head? to quell my heartsick of having missed this once-in-a-lifetime. Congrats to those that made it in once again and thanks TMR for posting the new video the same day, that was some medicinal balm INDEED!
Love it, it was the best time, amazing how Jack worked the room and made everyone feel so welcome and special!
