Dan Auerbach: Half of the Black Keys pie, Dan Auerbach released his reverb-rock friendly solo debut Keep It Hid last February. Head-banging, hip-shaking, shoulder swaggering and whiskey drinking music, Auerbach's upbeat, big band tunes, with backing band Hacienda, recall an Americana most hipsters and the indie rock community were too young to experience the first time it came around. Drums pan...
It took about 4 songs for me to announce to myself that Dan Auerbach's solo project is better than his other band, Akon, Ohio rock duo the Black Keys. And the Black Keys are pretty damn good too. Auerbach, his backing band Hacienda and stand-in percussionist Patrick Hallahan, best known as the drummer for My Morning Jacket, kicked off SXSW Wednesday with a packed show at the Parish. Whatever D...

What can I say about Dan Auerbach that isn't already documented in the restraining order? After putting out one of the best albums of 2008 with Black Keys' Danger Mouse-produced Attack and Release, Dan decided against taking a break and opted to put out a stellar solo album called Keep It Hid.

Apparently, releasing one of the better rock records of 2008 wasn't cause enough for Dan Auerbach to take a break. The singer/guitarist and one half of The Black Keys is back already, this time without drummer Patrick Carney, making his solo debut with an LP entitled Keep It Hid . Last year's Black Keys release, Attack & Release, showed the duo expanding their gritty, bluesy rock 'n' roll w...

The Name:I'm not having "alias anxiety" or an identity crisis...maybe more like an epiphany.I don't know...what can I say. The sunshinedaydream just didn't feel right anymore. I thought of dropping the daydream but the name goes together like 2 peas in a tie-died pod. I went through my spaced out psychedelic phase and still enjoy The Grateful Dead & Donna the Buffalo on warm summer days, bu...
Keep It Hid is the debut solo album from Black Keys' singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach. He plays pretty much every note on every instrument throughout the record.
