JACK WHITE – ” Vault Package No 28 ” Live In Idaho / Live In Alaska

About 1 year ago, Jack White embarked on an unusual, acoustic tour . Hitting the only five states in the US in which he had yet to perform — the wild environs of North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho and Alaska — White and his acoustic ensemble of Dominic Davis,Fats Kaplin and Lillie Mae Rische delivered jaw-dropping performances to the previously JW deprived terrritories. Each show was announced only hours before curtains lifted and tickets were only available in the venue box office, 1 per person, for $3. “No tradesies.” Rampant online speculation, guesstimation and divining ensued, and those who were lucky and/or cunning enough to secure a seat were admired by all. The shows had several standards and rules set ahead of time by White: no amplifiers, only ribbon microphones used, and no monitors on stage.

The final performance of that tour was streamed live on tidal, but, as you know, we never pass up an opportunity to immortalize great music (it’s a complex, really), so, we ran tape and film for the entirety of the tour, and now You will reap the benefits of our obsession.

Vault Package #28 is a celebration of these unprecedented performances and the end of the era that they signified. Acoustic in Idaho showcases the performance at the Egyptian Theater in Boise and contains a career-spanning set with standards from the White Stripes, Raconteurs and Jack White solo catalog, reinterpreted for performance with no amplifiers. The performance was captured exclusively by ribbon microphones and is dripping with atmosphere. Including a cover of Howlin’ Wolf’s “I Asked For Water (She Gave Me Gasoline)” and ending with a rousing rendition of Leadbelly’s “Goodnight Irene,” what exists here is pure magic. This double LP set will be pressed on Icy Idaho Blue vinyl.  Listen to “Sugar Never Tasted So Good” from Live in Idaho :

Jack’s performance from the Wendy Williamson Auditorium in Anchorage, Alaska is a gem in its own right. With the ethereal setting adding to the mystique of the circumstance, the show was one of the most thrilling in White’s twenty-plus-year career, and those who were there to enjoy it (who had waited all day in the snow), bore witness to a once-in-a-lifetime performance. We present that memorable show here, in its entirety, on DVD, with expertly engineered sound and editing by TMR’s in-house film guru Brad Holland. Acoustic in Alaska is truly spectacular.

Also borrowed from Swanson’s stunning photo archives and are two elegant Risographprints, both suitable for framing and evocative of the gilded settings of each one of these performances.

These items fits together perfectly in a soft-touch, silk-screened box that only further cements the exquisite collection as an item no music fan can deny. It may just be our best Vault package yet.

Its all in the latest installment of Third Man’s Vault subscription series is centered around live performances from three of Jack White’s early bands: Two Star Tabernacle, The Go, and Jack White and the Bricks. The performances, which are contained on three LPs, were recorded at Detroit’s Gold Dollar venue in 1998 and 1999.

Above, you can listen to three snippets taken from the release.
All of the performances feature songs written by White. The Two Star Tabernacle LP includes early versions of the White Stripes’ “Hotel Yorba” and “Now Mary,” while the Jack White and the Bricks LP includes versions of the White Stripes’ “Dead Leaves & The Dirty Ground,” “Candy Cane Children,” and “You’ve Got Her in Your Pocket.” The LPs also come with reproductions of flyers, setlists, and more.

It’s never a dull day at the Jack White news desk, even as the musician himself appears to be on hiatus following his lengthy Lazaretto world tour and the release of The Dead Weather’s Dodge and Burn. Today, Third Man Records has detailed the latest package for members of its Vault subscription service, and included is music from two of White’s very early bands.

Two Star Tabernacle was White’s short-lived punk rock band with Dan John Miller, who later formed the band Blanche. Several of the songs White originally wrote for Two Star were later altered and recorded for The White Stripes’ third album White Blood Cells, specifically “Hotel Yorba” and “Now Mary”. The Vault package offers a live recording of Two Star from January 16th, 1998, featuring “twangier older siblings” of these two songs, as well as an unreleased track called “Itchy”.

Less than a year later, White played a handful of shows fronting a band called The Bricks, which featured his future Raconteurs bandmate Brendan Benson. This recording, which has been enchased from the original multitrack masters, features early versions of White Stripes songs like “Candy Cane Children” and “You Got Her in Your Pocket” along with an unreleased track called “One and Two”.

Each of these gold LPs come in their own custom stylized jacket and are housed in a soft touch telescoping box highlighting the Gold Dollar, the Detroit music venue where all three performances took place. The box is filled with facsimile reproductions of setlists, flyers, band ephemera, and more.

Additionally, the forthcoming Vault package includes a yellow and black 7-inch of The Dead Weather’s Dodge and Burn tracks, “Let Me Through” and “Be Still”.

Those interested in obtaining this package can sign up for Third Man’s Vault here.

YAK – ” No “

A shambolic mix of psychedelic blues and manic punk, ripping open the cushions of a vintage paisley couch and lighting the stuffing on fire . For Fans of: The Birthday Party, A Place to Bury Strangers, Kurt Vile

You Should Pay Attention to this London trio Yak’s introduction to Jack White’s Third Man Records was a 10-minute stoner rock take on folk standard “Cumberland Gap,” a distant cry from Lonnie Donegan’s frenetic skiffle version that was a hit in the Fifties. According to the group’s gregarious singer-guitarist an ex-thrift store operator who used to host jam sessions in the shop’s basement. White’s friend Ben Swank of Soledad Brothers saw their live performance and the rest is garage-rock history. Following up hard-charging Fat Possum singles “Hungry Heart” and “Plastic People,” the No EP just arrived on Third Man. Its three songs capture the group’s blistering live energy and sinister melodic leanings in just over seven minutes. Produced by Pulp bassist Steve Mackey, the EP was recorded while bassist Andy Jones was in denial about a broken finger, which didn’t slow him a bit. 

They Say: The No EP didn’t take much time,” Burslem says. “We got it mixed, then sent it to Third Man and they were really into it. It was kind of a painless experience. We tried not to fuck around with the initial live recordings we had that day. All of the bands we like, it’s not too edited, I suppose. Once you start editing conversations or editing anything, it can kind of lose the charm of it. I always have loads of ideas. I sit at my desk here with notes, loads of nonsense. I try and fill my brain with as much clutter as possible, and then we get together as a band and vomit it all out. Loaded with amp-rattling feedback and Burslem’s unfiltered musings at the top of his lungs, “No” is a sludgy garage stomper.

Yak – No EP, On Jack White’s Third Man Records ,When’s it out? Friday November 13th. DIY Magazine describes them as “a berserk bunch who balance noise with a don’t-give-a-shit mentality.” NME says they’re “notably non-conformist.” The Quietus thinks they will “restore your faith in rock & roll.” Third Man Records have decided they are, without-a-doubt “favorite band material.”

They are Yak, and they are set to release their most thrilling material ever This friday in the form of a second EP titled ‘No.’ Last month we unveiled the official video for the release’s title track. Today, we’re pleased to share with you their second EP-related video for the track “Alas Salvation.” Directed again by ex-Jesus And Mary Chain member Douglas Hart (who, as we mentioned last time, has also made videos for Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine and The Horrors).

Yak is embarking this month on their biggest headline tour of the UK to date. If you’re in Great Britain, get your tickets now .Chaos reigns in the London trio’s live show and on this three-track EP set to be released on Jack White’s Third Man label. It’s inventive and unpredictable, from the barked spoken word feel of ‘Alas Salvation’ to the softer ‘Out On A Limb’.

Excerpts from Third Man Records package No26,

As the focal point of Vault package #26, a complete recording from that evening, newly mixed from original multi-track sources, will be pressed on blood red vinyl and made available to subscribers worldwide. The White Stripes Live at the Gold Dollar Vol. III is the third release (Vault 13 comprised both volumes I and II) in an on-going series that will eventually see the release of all extant audio from the band at the Gold Dollar. There are still many unheard treasures to be revealed.

This is the first White Stripes show released from the pivotal year 1999…the year which saw the band unleash their first album, do their first extended run of touring with three shows opening for Pavement in the Southeast and found Jack White buying his soon-to-be trademark Airline guitar…all building blocks to what would eventually turn the band into the international juggernaut they became.

The White Stripes Live at the Gold Dollar Vol. III

Track list:

Broken Bricks
Jimmy the Exploder
The Big Three Killed My Baby
Stop Breaking Down (first live performance) (Robert Johnson)
Suzy Lee (first live performance)
Let’s Build a Home
Sugar Never Tasted So Good
Do
Little People
One More Cup of Coffee (Bob Dylan)
Astro (first live performance)
Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground
Wasting My Time
Red Bowling Ball Ruth
Cannon/John the Revelator/Grinnin’ in Your Face (Son House)
Let’s Shake Hands

In conjunction with the live album, a reproduction of one of the Jack White-designed flyers for that evening… three black-and-white peppermints, each varying in circumference and oriented on top of each other…will be included in the package as an 10.75” x 14″ iron-on transfer. All Vault members will be welcome to submit photos of their use of the transfer and the member who’s submission is considered the “best” by the TMR team will win a rare, limited test pressing of the aforementioned LP.

Additionally, the other flyer from that evening (also a peppermint, this time on a field of red sparkly naugahyde) AND the setlist as written in Jack’s hand will be included as high-quality color reproductions. Fully utilizing everything in the TMR archives to round out the package finds us also printing the news clipping of the show preview and the hand-written price list from the merch table for that night. Third Man is nothing if not thorough.

Completing the Gold Dollar presentation will be two full-color, 8 x 10, glossy prints of photographs taken by the estimable Doug Coombe, featuring Jack and Meg live on stage at the tiny Cass Corridor club in 1999. These are visually arresting to say the least.

The 7” for Vault 26 is a continuation of the Dead Weather single series, pairing the moving torch song “Impossible Winner” and “Mile Markers.” When complete, every song from the Dead Weather’s critically-lauded album Dodge and Burn will appear exclusively in 7” form as a single on captivatingly colored vinyl. Are these two songs a hint as to the next possibly music video to come from this merry band of grifters…it seems only time will tell. In the meantime, enjoy Alison belt this one out complete with string section accompaniment and revel in the inherent beauty in this transcendent album-closer.

Harkening back to where this all started, the bonus item for this vault package will be an impressive 1.25” enamel pin of the new Third Man Records Cass Corridor logo. Soon to be seen on the lapels and collars of bon vivants the world over, this dazzling pin will no doubt impress even the most die-hard skeptics.

This November Third Man Records will be releasing the  latest EP from he band YAK (produced by Pulp’s Steve Mackey) the band were probably amongst my most favourite live bands this summer, featuring the sloppy, sludgy, searing single “No” with Massive guitars, cantankerous drums, and a defiant, vox maelstrom. It’s gonna gnarl through your speakers and bludgeon you with pure nihilism fuzz. Following “No” on the A-side is “Alas Salvation” a song so chewed up and spit out it could pass for The Upholsterers covering DNA. The B-side ditches the bulk of the grit and instead keeps things icy, mellow, and lonely with “Out on a Limb.” It’s a stately and necessary respite till you flip the wax and strap back in for the A-side. PLUS noted artist and photographer Nick Waplington has copiously tackled the cover art. It’s beautiful and violent use of color are a welcome and complimentary addition to this package.

So sit tight and take hold. Yak is poised to make noise and it’s in your best interest to get on board early and maybe JUST MAYBE you could be the coolest kid at school.

“No” will be available in the Third Man Records store and online retailers worldwide on Friday, November 13, 2015,

The DEAD WEATHER – ” Cop and Go “

Earlier this summer The Dead Weather—Jack White, Dean Fertita (Queens of the Stone Age), Alison Mosshart (The Kills), and Jack Lawrence—announced that they would finally be putting out their first album since 2010 this fall. Last week the rock ‘n’ roll supergroup shared “I Feel Love (Every Million Miles)”–the first single from their upcoming album Dodge and Burn. So soon after, they’ve already shared their second single “Cop and Go,” which may be even better than the first.

The band’s first single was very gritty and unpolished, but that’s what made it great. This new single “Cop and Go” feels just as gritty but there’s more structure to the entirety of it—the lyrics, the instrumentation—that makes this single feel instantly stronger. “Cop and Go” is filled with energy that can barely be squeezed into tiny earphones. It deserves to be blasted at full volume until it’s felt. With these two first singles, there’s no doubt that The Dead Weather’s new album Dodge and Burn—due out September 25th via Third Man Records—will be a brilliant one.

The Dead Weather will celebrate Dodge and Burn with a hugely anticipated visit to CBS’ Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The appearance – which marks the band’s first official live performance in five years – airs Monday, September 14 at 11:35/10:35c (check local listings).

The band has also just unveiled an electrifying new live performance video for “I Feel Love (Every Million Miles),” directed by Jack White and edited by Brad Holland and Jack. 
 
An additional series of live performance and technique and instrument-based videos will be rolled out in the coming weeks. The first episode of the technique videos, released yesterday, features Jack White discussing and demonstrating his drumming. The clip – which comes paired with a powerhouse live rendition of The Dead Weather’s now-classic debut single, “Hang You From The Heavens” – is available now on Modern Drummer.


 
Meanwhile, the official “I Feel Love (Every Million Miles)” companion video – directed by award-winning duo Ian & Cooper

“That Black Bat Licorice” is the latest single off the second Jack White solo album “Lazaretto” . Available February 17th through Third Man Records, the 7-inch contains a brand new recording for its B-Side: a cover of Harry Connick, Jr.’s “Blue Light, Red Light (Someone’s There)”.
White’s rendition includes all the elements of a loungey jazz rocker, but with the added intensity that only he and his guitar can muster.
