• MichaelKiwanuka - Michael Kiwanuka & Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) - "Lasan"

Michael Kiwanuka is on fire. After slowly building up his catalog this past year, his sound has begun to captivate audiences across the globe. After winning  BBC Sounds of 2012 , Black Keys member Dan Auerbach caught wind of the promising singer/songwriter, and decided to lend him some production and vocal work. The final product is a soft, Kiwanuka piano-driven track that is filled with soul and good vibes. No word on any future collaborations between these two, but we would be ecstatic if they put together a full project for our listening pleasure.

Filed under: News , Video MTV While many of us were playing catchup on our Monday post-Super Bowl sleep, the Black Keys debuted a new video for their single 'Gold on the Ceiling' on MTV. The Keys ditched their usual humorous (see: lothario dinosaurs, kids kicking the crap out of each other, dancing custodians) in favor of more conventional rock-star fare. Directed by Reid Long, the clip details your standard road video [...]

El Camino 's "Gold On The Ceiling" is the next thrust in the Black Keys' sorta-surprising-but-then-agai n-not-really ascension to becoming one of America's largest rock bands. They brought it to Letterman in live form awhile ago, and this video is also lots of live footage, mixed with auxiliary shots from life on the road with Patrick and Dan and their interesting taste in jackets. This one will not get love from Ellen Degeneres , and that is just the price the Black Keys are going to have to pay for not featuring Derrick Tuggle in their every video [...]

It's safe to say that without the tireless efforts of  Alan Lomax , the world may never have been introduced to the likes of Woody Guthrie, Muddy Waters, Leadbelly or countless other musicians the folklorist and ethnomusicologist recorded on dusty back roads, barns or just about anywhere else he could set up his recording gear. Lomax spent his entire career making field recordings of folk and traditional music, both in the U.S. and abroad, amassing a collection of 5,000 hours of sound recordings, 400,000 feet of film, 3,000 videotapes, 5,000 photographs and piles of manuscripts. Some 17,000 tracks from [...]

Following in the footsteps of a number of legacy artists looking to connect with a younger audience, Dr. John tapped Black Keys guitarist Dan Auerbach to produce his latest studio album, Locked Down. The album, which will hit stores on April 3 via Nonesuch Records, was recorded at Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound in Nashville and features a number of young artists handpicked by him to play alongside the Night Tripper . As part of the promotion for the album,  it was announced that Mac will play a three-weekend residency at the Brooklyn Academy of Music [...]

The Black Keys didn't keep us waiting long for their new album reuniting with old co-conspirator Danger Mouse in the process. 'El Camino' is further proof that the duo's unlikely success is not a fluke. Cougar writer Cole added this to his top 10 explaining "'El Camino' is not The Black Keys’ best album. Frankly [...]

The Ohio rock band and Danger Mouse revise '70s rock on a dazzling new album.

Last year, Brothers was released and it shot the Black Keys into mainstream fame.  If you haven't heard of them by now, you must seriously be living underneath a rock.  Huge hits like... Read the rest on Speakerboxxx.com

The Black Keys - Recent Nashville transplants have pretty much redefined and carried the torch for raw, driving and back to basics rock and roll for a decade -- so when Key-man Dan Auerbach says the follow up to 2010's Grammy winning, million-selling Brothers is "raw, driving and back to basics" you know you're in for a white knuckle, tops-down ride...Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton, who co-produced the band's 2008 Attack and Release , is again riding shotgun here // Release : El Camino (December 6, Nonesuch) // Sounds like : [...]

• The Black Keys - Lonely Boy
• The Black Keys - Sister

The Black Keys first single from their soon-to-be-released (and highly anticipated) El Camino feels like the work of a band out to rescue rock and roll from its seemingly overdue extinction. Dredged in thick layers of hill country blues, 602s psych, sweat and gasoline fumes, there's little doubt after first listen that The Black Keys return to the studio won't be some sort of thrown-together cash in or hodge-podge. The Keys are craft masters who were clearly not satisfied to rest on their laurels and accolades; the snarling guitar howls and [...]

Filed under: News , Holy Hell Facebook The MTV VMA awards usually entertain the prospect of controversy, crazy "I'mma'let you finish" interruptions and political folly, but last year's show's wackiest moment wasn't even broadcast. In a recent interview with GQ , Ohio bluesmen the Black Keys tell of a clerical error for the ages. "We were on tour and our manager sent us a picture of the award [...]

Filed under: News , New Music C Brandon, Redferns The Black Keys are back. After that ' BlakRoc 2 ' tease that turned out to be a mistake, the gruesome twosome has returned to treat your ears to some good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll.
