The Black Keys are an American
Friends since childhood, Auerbach and Carney founded the group after dropping out of college. After signing with indie label Alive, they released their debut album, The Big Come Up (2002), which earned them a new deal with Fat Possum Records. Over the next decade, the Black Keys built an underground fanbase through extensive touring of small clubs, frequent album releases and music festival appearances, and broad licensing of their songs. Their third album, Rubber Factory (2004), received critical acclaim and boosted the band's profile, eventually leading to a record deal with major label Nonesuch Records in 2006. After self-producing and recording their first four records in makeshift studios, the duo completed Attack & Release (2008) in a professional studio and hired producer Danger Mouse, who subsequently became a frequent collaborator with the band.
The group's commercial breakthrough came in 2010 with Brothers, which along with its popular single "Tighten Up", won three Grammy Awards. Their 2011 follow-up El Camino received strong reviews and peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, leading to the first arena concert tour of the band's career, the El Camino Tour. The album and its hit single "Lonely Boy" won three Grammy Awards. In 2014, they released their eighth album, Turn Blue, their first number-one record in the US, Canada, and Australia. After completing the Turn Blue Tour in 2015, the duo took a hiatus for several years to work on side projects and produce other artists. They returned in 2019 with their ninth album, Let's Rock. They have since released three additional studio albums: Delta Kream (2021), consisting of hill country blues covers;[1] Dropout Boogie (2022); and Ohio Players (2024).
History
Early history
Guitarist and vocalist
Formation, The Big Come Up, and Thickfreakness (2001–2003)
Auerbach attempted to make a living from performing at small bars in town, but realized he would not be able to book shows in other cities without a demo. To record one, he asked for help from Carney, who agreed to provide recording equipment and allow his basement to be used if Auerbach recruited the other musicians. However, none of Auerbach's backing band showed up on the recording date.[3] Instead, Carney and Auerbach jammed, eventually leading to the duo forming a band in mid-2001.[3][8] Together, they recorded a six-song demo consisting of "old blues rip-offs and words made up on the spot" with minimal equipment.[3] After sending the demo to a dozen record labels, they accepted an offer in 2002 from a small indie label in Los Angeles named Alive,[5][9] because it was "the only label that would sign [them] without having to see [them] first".[10]
According to an interview on
Within days of signing to Fat Possum, the Black Keys completed their second album, Thickfreakness.[6] It was recorded in Carney's basement in a single 14-hour session in December 2002, an approach necessitated because the group spent its small advance payment from Fat Possum on rent.[8][10][16] The group had recorded sessions with producer Jeff Saltzman in San Francisco but ultimately aborted them, as they were unhappy that the results sounded too much like "modern-rock radio".[8] In March 2003, the group played at one of its first music festivals, South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, after driving for nearly 24 hours from Akron.[17] Much as they did for the festival, Carney and Auerbach spent their early tour days driving themselves from show to show in a 1994 Chrysler van they nicknamed the "Gray Ghost".[18]
Thickfreakness was released on April 8, 2003, and received positive reviews from critics. The record spawned three singles: "
Rubber Factory, Magic Potion, and other releases (2004–2007)
The Black Keys released an EP titled
For their third album,
On May 2, 2006, the Black Keys released Chulahoma: The Songs of Junior Kimbrough, a 6-track album of cover versions of songs by Junior Kimbrough. It was the band's final release with the independent label Fat Possum. Having fulfilled their two-album contract, the band signed with the major label Nonesuch Records.[34] Later in May, the group released its second live album, Live in Austin, TX—also known as Thickfreakness in Austin—which was recorded in 2003. The group's music appeared in several television commercials over the course of the year; among the companies to license its music were Sony, Nissan, and Victoria's Secret, which used "The Desperate Man" in a lingerie commercial featuring Heidi Klum.[35] Despite having the resources of a major record label available to them, the group elected to return to recording in Carney's basement for its fourth studio album, Magic Potion.[34] Released on September 12, 2006, the album was the group's first release on Nonesuch,[36] as well as its first album to comprise all original songs. Three singles were issued: "You're the One", "Your Touch", and "Just Got to Be". In support of Magic Potion, the band embarked on its largest tour to that point, performing in large theaters and 1,000-seat venues.[37] The Black Keys recorded covers of "The Wicked Messenger" for the soundtrack of the film I'm Not There and "If You Ever Slip" for The Hottest State soundtrack.
Attack & Release and side projects (2007–2009)
In 2007, producer
On October 17, 2008, the Black Keys was an opening act for fellow Akron-area band
Tensions grew within the band in 2009. Prior to Carney's divorce from his wife Denise Grollmus, Auerbach found it increasingly difficult to communicate with the drummer due to his antipathy for Grollmus. Auerbach said, "I really hated her from the start and didn't want anything to do with her."[4] In February, Auerbach released his debut solo album, Keep It Hid. Carney, who claimed Auerbach did not tell him about the side project, felt betrayed.[20] Carney subsequently formed the indie band Drummer, with whom he played bass guitar.[45] The group released its debut album Feel Good Together on September 29, 2009.
The Black Keys reconciled later in the year. On June 6, 2009, they performed along with
Brothers and commercial breakthrough (2010–2011)
Auerbach and Carney moved to
The group's sixth studio album,
The band continued to gain exposure through continued song licensing, so much so that they were
The band's sudden success proved overwhelming, as they found themselves booking additional promotional commitments and facing demand for additional touring dates.[59] In January 2011, the group canceled concerts in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, citing exhaustion, thus clearing out most of their touring schedule into April.[69] Patrick Carney said, "We've been touring long enough to know when we're about to hit our breaking point." The desire to record another album soon after Brothers also led to the decision. Carney said, "We could have waited another year or so, and milked the Brothers album and kept touring, but we like bands, and our favourite bands growing up and even today, are bands that put out a lot of music and every album is different from the last."[59]
Brothers' second single, "Howlin' for You", was a successful follow-up, achieving a gold certification in the US.[55] The music video, directed by Chris Marrs Piliero,[70] parodied action movie trailers and starred Tricia Helfer, Diora Baird, Sean Patrick Flanery, Christian Serratos, Corbin Bernsen, Todd Bridges, and Shaun White.[71][72] It was nominated for the 2011 MTV Video Music Award for Best Rock Video.[73] In 2014, the band donated the song rights to PETA for an animal adoption ad campaign.[74]

On April 25, the Black Keys released "Eagle Birds", the second single from their ninth album, Let's Rock.[113] "Lo/Hi" became the band's first single to reach number one on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.[114] On May 16, the band released Let's Rock's third single, "Go".
On April 13, 2021, the Black Keys announced an album comprising 11 covers of
On March 10, 2022, the group released the song "Wild Child", their first original music since Let's Rock, along with a music video. This coincided with the announcement of their eleventh album, Dropout Boogie, which was released on May 13, 2022.[116] A second single, "It Ain't Over", was released on April 27, 2022.[117]
On August 11, 2023, the Black Keys released the song "No Lovin'", their contribution to the compilation album Tell Everybody! (21st Century Juke Joint Blues From Easy Eye Sound).
Ohio Players (2024–present)
On January 12, 2024, the band released the single "Beautiful People (Stay High)",[118] taken from their twelfth studio album Ohio Players. The album was released on April 5, 2024, on streaming services, as well as vinyl, CD and cassette. The album was well received with one review saying the Black Keys have 'found that creative musical joy again'[119]
In March 2024, the band appeared at SXSW 2024, participating in an onstage interview during a keynote event.[120] The documentary film This Is a Film About the Black Keys, directed by Jeff Dupre, debuted as part of the film festival.[121][122][123] They also performed at SXSW on March 14 and 15.[124][125]
Musical style
The Black Keys have been described as blues rock,[126][127][128][129] garage rock,[127][130][131][132] punk blues,[130][133][134] indie rock,[135][136] lo-fi,[130] and alternative rock.[126] According to Paste Magazine, "they’ve bounced from the blues to psychedelia to classic, good ol’ fashioned rock ‘n’ roll, and so many of their most interesting tunes bring all those elements together.[132]
