Conan O’Brien: Live Album & Spoken Word

August 18th, 2010 | No Comments

OUT NOW ON THIRD MAN RECORDS


Conan O’ Brien

Third Man Records presents a new release from the one and only Conan O’Brien recorded in Nashville at
the Third Man studios this past June. The spoken word 7” entitled And They Call Me Mad? is
available now for pre-order in the Third Man Records online shop.

On June 10, 2010 Conan O’Brien visited Third Man Records for a surprise performance during his “Legally Prohibited
From Being Funny on Television Tour.” Over 1000 people turned up for the last minute show, but only 300 lucky
fans were able to get into the intimate Third Man live venue to see Conan and his band rip through an evening of old
school rockabilly and rock and roll tunes. This special set was recorded direct to analog tape in the Third Man Live 8
track booth, and released as a live album on Third Man Records. Jack White joined Conan for a duet on
the
Eddie Cochran classic “20 Flight Rock” to end the night.

During his stay in Nashville, Conan also recorded a 7” to be released as part of Third Man’s “Green Series” of Spoken
Word/Instructional records, which will also be made available digitally via iTunes early next week. And They Call
Me Mad? is Conan’s hilarious improvised take on the Frankenstein legend. The B side of the single is an
interview with Conan conducted by friend Jack White.

Both the Conan O’Brien Live at Third Man live 12” LP and the Conan O’Brien And They Call Me Mad?
7” are available now at www.thirdmanrecords.com.
