Thread: Black Keys

bump..


I had these guys screaming in my helmet all weekend and couldn't have picked better tunes for some early season laps. Great tunes for your ski playlists!

They're no Cage the Elephant but pretty good. Definitely getting their cds though.

Don't know why it took me so long to get into these guys... but I saw them last night on SNL and they freakin kick ass!

that they do.

They're on Letterman tonight.

I really need to see these guys live. I see they're in Vegas with Big Boi. Now THAT could be an amazing show!

They're still a great act (saw them at the 2800-seat Fox in Oakland a little while back) but it's just not the same old-fashioned ass kicking they delivered when performing in the 500-to-800 capacity venues. And they had a backing band! What the crap is that?

On the plus side, I like Brothers a whole lot better than Modern Times, kinda feels like they're back on track.

They kick several mangers' worth of Ass.

Great band. bought the album after seeing them on SNL.

I first heard them on HBO Hatton/Pacqiaou 24/7, the song "I got mine" really badass song.

Which one? They have several:

* The Big Come Up (2002)
* Thickfreakness (2003)
* Rubber Factory (2004)
* Magic Potion (2006)
* Attack & Release (2008)
* Brothers (2010)

Personally I like Thickfreakness best, but they're all good.

Tipp, you missed my personal favorite, Chulahoma (2005), which is a Junior Kimbrough tribute album.

Absolutely amazing, the endorsement at the end by Junior's wife says it all.

edit: technically, I guess it's an EP.

Lucky enough to see them play again at a sold out Rose Garden last night. Good to see they still rock just as hard as ever. Dan's a fucking god on guitar.

^^^ and Pat beats those poor drums like none other. Best drummer out there? No, but Christ does he give it his all.

They blew the doors off the maverik center in SLC last week. Lots from from el camino and brothers, but a solid sampling from thickfreakness, magic potion, attack and release, et al. Hell of a show, Dan and Pat are heading north now for the canadian mags - go forth and blow your ear drums out.


Shitty pic from the seats

Can't fucking figure out why the hell these guys have obsessed me lately. They have a key to something awfully simple and real. Just today I went back to Curtis Mayfield's soundtrack to Superfly. I think I found the Motherlode. Freddie's Dead, indeed. But, still, they hit the spot, if you know what I mean.

My 11 month old loves them as do I. She rocks out when they come on. Hilarious.

Good stuff here. I acquired this split up as mp3s from a friend. Nice.
