Renowned Nashville musician and multi-instrumentalist Dean Fertita new single 'Wheels Within Wheels' from his new project Tropical Gothclub

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.

Now, the lead single 'Wheels Within Wheels' is available as a black vinyl 7', weeks in advance of the album release.

Includes 'Street Level', a new non-album track
