Third Man Records

Nashville resident Jack White recently gave a physical address to Third Man Records, the imprint on which he releases all his music. He designed the building in downtown Nashville to include a recording studio, a vinyl shop, a darkroom, and a stage. And his newest band, The Dead Weather, featuring the vocal stylings of Allison Mosshart from The Kills, The Raconteurs’ Jack Lawrence on bass, Queens of the Stone Age’s Dean Fertita on guitars, and White on drums, will be releasing their debut on the label in June. They recently hosted a listening party at the studio for family and friends at which the guests were given a 45 of the band’s first single. (You can stream those two songs–one is a Gary Numan cover–on the band’s site and buy them on itunes.)

White claims the label may be interested in recording and expediently pressing vinyl for good local bands.
