Not much to say here other than The Black Keys put on a great show at The Orange Peel in Asheville NC last night. It was a good time.

Put on your Ray-Bans, summer is just around the corner and The Black Keys are back -- this time bigger, bolder, and better than ever before. While some tracks may easily be compared to The White Stripes, The Black Keys have a deeper and more soul-searching sound that cuts to the bone of blues rock. Their 2008 album, "Attack & Release" is more ferocious than all of their previous records put together and seals their fate as a classic blues rock band suitable for barbecues, ... MORE

The Black Keys released their new album Attack & Release earlier this week. To celebrate here's the Ohio-based duo's new video for "Strange Times," which takes you back to those good ol' fifth grade laser tag parties.
The Black Keys kick off their tour in support of Attack & Release tomorrow (April 4th) in Portland, Oregon. Most dates are sold out, but fans can also catch them on tour again at the end of May when they open up for the Raconteurs.

The Black Keys take their sound out of the garage, or at least have converted the garage into a rec room with an arcade game and some carpet squares.
Adding minimal overdubs - keys, guitar, vox, even flute and banjo at points (!) - but they remain true to their focused style.
You can hear another track at their web site www.theblackkeys.com while you play a faux old-school vector arcade shooter in the style of Battle Zone or Red Baron. Good for a laugh at least.

Downtown at my local music shop today, I was suddenly compelled to buy the soundtrack to "I'm Not There," even though I haven't seen the movie (yet). Included in the thirty or so contributing artists are the likes of Cat Power, Sonic Youth, Mason Jennings, The Black Keys, Jack Johnson, Yo La Tengo, Karen O, Sufjan Stevens and Charlotte Gainsbourg. It is quite an epic compilation, spanning 34 tracks over two CDs, and it was well worth the price (although I admit...I probabl... MORE

Danger Mouse is fooling around with someone and it's not his Gnarls Barkley partner Cee-Lo. As fellow Mogger ZZTodd mentioned a few weeks back, the producer is hooking up with the Black Keys for the Ohio-based duo's fifth studio album. The album now has a name and a release date: Attack And Release is due on March 31st. Danger Mouse made the first move, approaching the Black Keys to collaborate on an album he was working on with the late Ike Turner. But the blues-rockers... MORE

From the band's MySpace page/bulletin: --------------------------------------------------- The Black Keys recently played their biggest headlining show to date in Brooklyn, NY at McCarren Pool with over 4,800 fans in attendance.
Show review from the New York Times:
"Mr. Auerbach's crawling guitar lines...and Mr. Carney's thrusting drum racket...appealingly ragged...walls of psychedelia...the band's greatest strength, it's directness" – Jon Caramanica

The Black Keys are no stranger to the covers. They’ve covered legendary bluesman, Junior Kimbrough on their debut album The Big Come Up with the song "Do The Rump" and on their follow up album, Thickfreakness with "Everywhere I Go." Junior Kimbrough’s Mississippi blues sound is an obvious influence on The Black Keys. Auerbach’s howling vocals [...]

This was the album I was anticipating the most for this year. I thoroughly enjoyed their work previous to this, so I had high expectations for the album. The album starts off with a slow ballad, "All You Ever Wanted," which is folky, and at the end gets into unfamiliar territory for the band (Studio additions and deep bass.) This track sets the tone for the whole album, and leads into the next track, "I Got Mine." The second track is a hard hitting blues riff, similar to... MORE

- I mentioned Junior Kimbrough’s influence on The Black Keys the other day. A less obvious influence on the band was the music of the Beatles. I guess "She Said, She Said" is really a blues song after all, so it’s not a huge stretch of the imagination. The song can be found on the band’s [...]

Okay, one of my favorite blues bands of this modern age, The Black Keys have an awesome first album, The Big Come Up, which harks most of its prowess to the likes of Junior Kimbrough. The track that surprises me though is a Beatles cover, "She Said, She Said," and everyone should give it a spin. That being said, you should check out this band's album, and if you get a chance to see them live, please don't pass it up because I saw them at Bonnaroo last year and they were on... MORE
