The Black Keys announce North American tour dates



Yes, it seems on my Twitter account that all I occasionally do is rave about how awesome The Black Keys are. But to be fair they are really good. If you haven’t heard their new album El Camino (it leaked) then be sure to pick it up on Tuesday, December 6th.

Then head out to your nearest arena — yup, arena — to check out Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney rock thousands upon thousands of people with their gritty, dirty, wonderful blues-rock. The duo will be hitting up arenas around North America starting March 3rd in Cincinnati, OH at the U.S. Bank Arena. All the tour dates are listed down below and what’s even better is that Arctic Monkeys are opening for them at every stop. Tickets go on sale starting December 9th.

The Keys are playing Saturday Night Live tomorrow night and will appear on Letterman and Colbert next week. Expect those performances to be on this site.

    [...] Looks like Arctic Monkeys don’t give a damn about the Oscars. Consequence of Sound came across a new video from the UK lads featuring a brand new song called “R U Mine?” which has a bit of a Whatever People Say I Am… vibe to its sound. The song doesn’t appear on any of their albums and is a standalone single. Check out the video down below. As for the Monkeys, they’re on tour with the Black Keys starting this week. Check out the dates here. [...]
