The Black Keys are an American blues-rock music duo consisting of vocalist/guitarist Dan Auerbach
and drummer/producer Patrick Carney. They were formed in Akron, Ohio in 2001. Their sound heavily
incorporates elements of blues and blues-rock.
The band released their first album, The Big Come Up, in 2002, followed by Thickfreakness in 2003,
and Rubber Factory in 2004. Around this time, they also opened for bands such as Pearl Jam, Beck,
Radiohead and Sleater-Kinney. October 2005 saw the release of the DVD Live, recorded live at The
Metro Theatre in Sydney, Australia March 18, 2005. In 2006 they released Magic Potion and the lesser

Their fourth album, Magic Potion, was released on September 4, 2006 in the UK and September 12, 2006
in the United States. It was their first recording for Nonesuch Records.
According to an interview in Pitchfork Media, the band was collaborating on an album with Ike
Turner, to be produced by Danger Mouse and released in 2007, but the idea was rendered impossible
with Turner s death in December 2007.  Some of the stuff we ended up recording sounds like Screamin 
  Jay Hawkins,  Carney told Flaunt magazine, in April 2008. Ultimately Attack   Release, their fifth
album, was produced by Danger Mouse and released on April 1, 2008, having leaked onto the internet
by March 4. The first single from the album was  Strange Times , with a supporting video featuring
Auerbach and Carney appearing as themselves shooting  real  laser guns at one another during a game
of laser tag.

which was praised by Rolling Stone magazine. Time magazine named them one of the  10 Best Acts of
2003 . They have supported a number of bands, and toured with Sleater-Kinney in 2003, as well as a
short stint opening for Beck, and performing at Lollapalooza 2005 and 2008. They opened for
Radiohead on the American leg of their brief 2006 tour. In addition to this, they were supported by
the influential British radio DJ John Peel and appeared on Late Night with Conan O Brien, and The

the I m Not There soundtrack, and have recorded  If You Ever Slip , a song written by Jesse Harris
for The Hottest State soundtrack.
On October 17, 2008, the band was an opening act for fellow Akron-area band Devo at a special
benefit concert at The Akron Civic Theater for presidential candidate Barack Obama. Chrissie Hynde
of The Pretenders fame, also an Akron native and Firestone High School graduate, followed their set.
In November they toured through Europe together with Liam Finn.
