The Black Keys

Blues rock two piece

The Black Keys are a two-man blues-rock group from Akron in Ohio, which formed in 2001, consisting of singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney. The band name was inspired by a schizophrenic artist and friend in Akron, who used the term "black keys" to describe things he disliked or people he did not trust. The Black Keys have roots in traditional blues and psychedelic rock stylings.

They released their first album 'The Big Come Up' in 2002, followed by 'Thickfreakness' in 2003, and 'Rubber Factory' in 2004. In 2006 they released 'Magic Potion', as well as the lesser-known 'Chulahoma' and a single version of 'Your Touch'.
