About
The heyday of a raw and earthy style of rock'n'roll in the early noughties, with prominent representatives at the time such as The White Stripes, the Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes, is well known to connoisseurs. All of these bands with their extremely challenging and innovative styles contributed to an important and almost legendary era in music history. However, one band, much more a duo, stood out in this rich musical moment and quickly established themselves as a pillar of modern blues and rock'n'roll - The Black Keys. Daniel Quine Auerbach and Patrick James Carney, two tireless and passionate musicians from Akron, Ohio, left a musical milestone in 2001 with their debut "The Big Come Up". Their dynamic and, above all, electrifying sound of blues, rock and a pinch of garage was virtuoso. Like thunder and lightning united in perfect harmony, the duo immediately created an unstoppable musical storm. Their ability to create such depth and intensity with so few resources - a guitar and a drum set - and to let it speak for itself in a pure, raw and honest way was and remains almost unique to this day. With hits like "Tighten Up", "Lonely Boy" or "Little Black Submarines" and an ever-growing impressive catalog of songs, EPs and albums, they are now among the most successful musicians within the genre. The real and The original, due to the blues anchored in their roots, as well as the idea of wanting to create new music completely detached and freely, touches the heart and enlivens the soul of many and makes the duo from Ohio an unparalleled band.
