Biografía de The Black Keys

The Black Keys are an American blues rock band formed in Ohio in 2001. Band members, and childhood friends, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney self-produced their tracks until making the big time in 2010.

The Black Keys have released eight studio albums since 2002 with each album doing better than the last on the US Billboard charts. The band’s most recent album, “Turn Blue” reached the number one spot in the US and was a top five album in almost every other country.

The band’s musical prowess has been recognised and celebrated with a staggering seven Grammy Awards, four of which were won in 2013 for the album “El Camino”. The Black Keys claim that legendary bands such as The Beatles, T. Rex and The Clash influenced the album.

Extensively touring and promoting their own work in small venues throughout the US and Europe in the early years, it wasn’t until 2011 that The Black Keys were given the chance to complete an arena tour to support “El Camino”. While old hands at the touring lifestyle, the band was forced to pull out of many Australian, New Zealand and European dates for their “El Camino” tour due to exhaustion and their overwhelming schedule.

Despite the cancellation of these gigs, the band did not rest on their laurels and instead set about getting to work on their next album, ”Turn Blue”. The Black Keys have stated that they prefer to be working on and releasing new music and albums rather than constantly pushing their older material.

The band’s most popular single to date is “Lonely Boy” which went platinum in the US, Canada and Australia. Other hits have included the singles “Tighten Up” and “Gold on the Ceiling”. No strangers to hard work, it goes without saying that The Black Keys will have many more hit singles in their future and will continue to cultivate and expand upon the loyal fan base they already have.

The Black Keys are my favorite band and I am always excited to see Dan and Patrick rock out the entire house. I've seen them in intimate settings like a little bar up to large sold-out arenas, and every time they have put on an amazing and electric show.

They are not known for huge set pieces, typically it's just Dan out with his guitars and Patrick behind his drum set, but lately they've added a keyboardist, bassist, and backing vocals for some of the newer songs, but they only add to the show. The band has been around for quite a few years, but it seems like only recently they have blown up and everyone wants to see them. I like seeing them live because they seem to extend every song a little bit and Dan has a different touch on each guitar solo that just gets everyone into a nice groove.

They have a good mix of slower songs and faster rocking songs from all of their albums at every show, so any fan of the band who has followed from the beginning, to someone who had just heard their songs on commercials, will be able to appreciate and expand their taste for the Black Keys. My favorite songs to see are "Thickfreakness" because it rocks harder than most other songs these days, and is very impressive because it is just two instruments.

Another song that will leave lasting memories is "Everlasting Light". The performance makes it seem like Dan and Pat are just two normal guys who like to rock out, and that's exactly what you get!

Excellent Band and lead singer. Music is good for all ages. Good composition and swinging tunes. One of my favorites is Floating and Old Man. But then all their music is great. Never miss a performance in your area.
