Topic: The Black Keys

I have been listening to these lads for a few years.

I seen them live for the first time in Newcastle last night and they were superb!

A must see!

They seem to play proper blues with some really nice riffs and fantastic vocals.

Re: The Black Keys

Yes, they were fantastic here in Edinburgh too. I've written about them before in length, but they really are a superb band and can play a fantastic blues song when they want to! smile

Re: The Black Keys

There are several threads on them.  IMO they are a good band but don't deserve to be the most well known blues rock act today, which they may be

Re: The Black Keys

Well I don't know if they are the best known blues act.

I seen them at Newcastle academy on Friday and there was enough room to walk.

When I seen Joe B there you couldn't move an inch!
