Pop-up preparations are underway at the Regent Theater, which will become Third Man Records for three days starting Wednesday.

Main street's Regent Theater is sporting a distinctly different look this week, but it's only temporary.

The venue at 448 S. Main will act as a three-day pop-up store for , the label run by White Stripes frontman Jack White, and the building has received a paint job in preparation.

The store, Third Man Records and Novelties, will be open Wednesday, August 26, through Friday, August 28. It will sell merchandise by White's three musical endeavors: the White Stripes, the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather.

Festivities will get underway Wednesday at noon with a free concert by White's latest band, The Dead Weather. Admission to the show will be on a first-come, first-served basis, so expect to see a line-up on Main street Wednesday morning.

The pop-up is the continuation of a relationship between White and Downtown's , which runs the Regent and its retail spaces. Little Radio hosted a screening of a filmed Dead Weather show in the Regent in July.

Third Man Records has a permanent store in Nashville, TN, and in July opened a two-day pop-up in New York City.

Ugh, ever since I saw the Dead Weather ad on the marquee I knew some kind of indie crap would be popping up. Just as long as they stay away from King Eddys....

Where on the west coast can you get more Detroit than downtown Los Angeles?
