The Black Keys
Biography
The Black Keys are an American blues-rock or garage rock band. There are only two members in the band: vocalist and guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer and producer Patrick Carney. Nevertheless, the two musicians manage to create really bright and massive sound. The band was formed in 2001 and at that stage The Black Keys were performing in the underground scene of Akron. Their debut album The Big Come Up was released in 2002 and turned out to be successful. It is worth mentioning that all the songs were recorded in Patrick Carney's basement on the old recorder from the 80's. The second album Thickfreakness was issued in 2003 and it was recorded in the same way. Composition Set You Free from Thickfreakness was used in the movie School of Rock with Jack Black and in 2009 that song was included into the soundtrack of a film I Love You, Man.
