By now you must have heard that The Raconteurs will be playing their first shows in nearly 3 years including the MI Fest in Michigan on Sept. 17th. Now, we would also like to announce that the Rolling Record Store will also be making an appearance and that's not all.... Five, count them, FIVE additional Third Man artists have been added to the bill and will be performing on a Third Man stage at the festival! We picked some of our favorites on the TMR roster from Nashville and Michigan to do this and we're really pleased with the lineup. It's a great assortment of artists from the label and really shows how diverse our catalog is. Also, ALL of these bands KILL IT live. Here's the lineup:
JEFF The Brotherhood - Nashville's best 2 piece brother band. The WORLDS best 2 piece brother band! If you don't know, you soon will!
Black Milk - His show here at Third Man was one of the best we've ever had here. Prepare to have your eyes and ears amazed.
PUJOL - Nashville's finest rock and roll hook maker and political scientist will be tearing it up with his new backing band and new jams.
The Black Belles - Fresh from their Colbert appearance the Southern Goths blink into the sunlight and bring you garage rock glory!
The Thornbills - Perfect way to kick off the day... Harmony drenched Slavic folk and Americana with extra pop hooks. GREAT live band.
Head on over to the MI Fest website for ticket infomation. Heads up, they may not have all of this info posted there yet since we're giving the news to you first... but ticket and camping info, directions and the rest of the MI Fest lineup is there for your perusing pleasure.
SO that was pretty great news right? Ready for some more?
SPEAKING of JEFF The Brotherhood...
In early October we'll be releasing a Blue Series single produced by Jack White (natch). The A Side is a 6 and 1/2 minute jam called "Whatever I Want" and the B Side is a killer version of a Tiger B. Smith rocker, "Everything I Need". Both tunes are incredible we are overly excited to be working with the fellas who are just one of the best bands out there working today. We'll have lots more news about this soon, but in the meantime check out this awesome new pic. *NOTE* this is NOT the single cover. You'll have to wait for that one...
Progressive Rock & Progressive Metal - E-Zine
