Fucked Up To Record Live Album at Jack White's Third Man Records

Fucked Up are to record a live album at Jack White’s Third Man Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. On the heels of the announcement that Death From Above 1979 are also going to be recording a live album, Third Man has announced that Fucked Up will perform and record direct-to-acetate in the Blue Room on July 5.

A statement on Third Man’s website reads:

We’re freaking out over here. Feverish isn’t even the right word for it. Perhaps we’re just, oh I don’t know, DELIGHTED to announce that Fucked Up is back on the road and their Zodiac Series tour is making its way to Nashville all the way from Toronto, the provincial capital of Ontario, Canada. What better way to celebrate a new release? What do you mean “which new release”? Why, Year of The Hare (on Deathwish Inc.) is the seventh 12’’ single in Fucked Up’s Zodiac series! It’s an ongoing patchwork of epic and explosive songcraft and FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY they’ll be playing selections from the series at random. All recorded direct-to-acetate. They’ll be bringing Doom Squad along for the ride to open up the show here at TMR. It’s one of the most ambitious and sprawling bills ever to grace the Blue Room stage.

Fucked Up is a rare band. They’re a mutant strain of post-hardcore, arena-punk, super-talents capable of reworking the strange and the beautiful into a cohesive whole, but not at the expense of their furious underpinnings that keeps the band in constant motion. They are truly a blitzkrieg of song and lyric. It’s gonna be a frenzy. Thanks, Canada!

Live sessions at Third Man from bands such as the Shins, the Kills, the Melvins, Parquet Courts, Divine Fits, and Mudhoney have been previously released.

Here’s the band’s video for “The Other Shoe”:
