The Black Keys are kind of a big deal. They've released six full-lengths, a handful of live records and videos, a short film, and an assortment of singles, videos and EPs. They've sold close to 2 million records, won five Grammys, appeared on SNL and The Colbert Report, placed super-high (if not first) in Band of the Year lists byRolling Stone and Spin magazines, and have had their music in (approximately) ten billion video game and movie soundtracks.
And they've been together for less than ten years.
The Ohio-based blues rock duo - comprised of guitarist/vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney - have lived the “Make It Big” Rock and Roll Dream, ensuring that kids will keep getting guitars for Christmas for another decade at least. If you hadn't heard of them, then there's no hope for you as a human, and I can't tell you to check them out at Artpark tonight because the $38-per-lawn-seat tickets sold out a long, long time ago.
