Third Man

Third Man Records was founded in 2001 by Jack White, Ben Swank, and Ben Blackwell in Detroit. In 2010, they established a physical location in Nashville, TN. The TMR building serves as the company headquarters and houses the label's offices, a vinyl record store, photo studio, dark room, and performance stage.
The label is best known for producing bands such as The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather. They have become synonymous with high-quality vinyl records and have created a strong presence in the music industry.
With their commitment to preserving the art of vinyl records and their dedication to supporting emerging artists, Third Man Records continues to be a driving force in the music e-commerce world.

Dean Fertita has been a prominent figure in American rock 'n' roll for nearly two decades. He has contributed his musical talents to renowned bands such as Queens of the Stone Age, The Dead Weather, and The Raconteurs. Additionally, he has collaborated with esteemed artists including Jack White, Karen O, Iggy Pop, Brendan Benson, The Kills, Beck, and more. While Fertita's own music endeavors have spanned from being the lead singer and guitarist of The Waxwings to recording under the name Hello=Fire, he embarked on a new project called Tropical Gothclub without a clear objective for a solo album. During the early months of 2020 amidst the pandemic lockdowns, Fertita utilized a small A-frame in his backyard as a creative space to write and record demos. With ample time on his hands, he expanded upon these ideas with assistance from Dave Feeny at The Tempermill recording studios in Ferndale, MI. Together they transformed the original demos into an innovative showcase that highlights Fertita's diverse songwriting abilities and visionary imagination.

Dean Fertita has been at the heart of American rock ‘n’ roll for almost two decades, from his role as an invaluable member of Queens of the Stone Age and The Dead Weather, touring keyboardist with The Raconteurs, and backing musician on records by Jack White, Karen O, Iggy Pop, Brendan Benson, The Kills, Beck, and more. While his own music had been the focus in his role as lead singer, guitarist, and founder of The Waxwings and on recordings as Hello=Fire, Fertita began Tropical Gothclub with no clear mission for a solo album under his own name. In early 2020, the TN-based musician put up a small A-frame in his backyard to use as a writing and recording space while stuck at home during the looming pandemic. With rare time on his hands, Fertita set to work recording demos of the many musical ideas he had accumulated over the years, building upon songs and fragments written during different stages of his busy career. Fertita then enlisted his old friend Dave Feeny – a veteran Detroit musician and owner of The Tempermill recording studios in Ferndale, MI – to help develop the recordings even further, pushing the original demos in deliberate new directions to create a showcase for his wide-ranging songcraft and visionary imagination.
