Jack White goes all High Fidelity on us

By now I'm sure everyone has heard that Jack White of the White Stripes has formed yet another new band. This one is called Dead Weather and the band consists of White on drums, Alison Mosshart of the Kills on vocals, Dean Fertita of Queens of the Stone Age on guitar, and Jack Lawrence from the Raconteurs on bass.

In addition to the band though, White has decided to open up his own record store in Nashville called Third Man Records. He has also started a record label with the same name and has begun releasing some 7" singles. The tie between the two endeavors will be that certain releases from the label will be pressed on some nifty tri-colored vinyl (Pictured here) in limited runs of 100 that will only be available at the shop in Nashville. I'm certain these will show up on eBay shortly after they are released for a not-so-discounted price.

There are plans to release a single by the Dex Romweber Duo (Dex of Flat Duo Jets fame) in the near future, but White has just released three 7" singles this week alone; one by Rachelle Garniez, one by Mildred & the Mice, as well as the second one from Dead Weather. The first Dead Weather single was released back on Record Store Day back in April. The tracks on the new Dead Weather single are "Treat Me Like Your Mother” b/w “You Just Can’t Win." The b-side is a cover of a Them tune.
