(‘the black keys’ are an ‘american rock band’ formed in (‘akron’ / ‘ohio’), in ‘2001’)
(the group consists of ‘dan auerbach’ (guitar / vocals) and ‘patrick carney’ (drums))
(the duo began as an ‘independent act’, recording music in basements and self-producing their records, before they eventually emerged as one of the most popular ‘garage rock artists’ during a second wave of the genre’s revival in the ‘2010s’)
(the band’s raw ‘blues rock’ sound draws heavily from auerbach’s ‘blues’ influences, including ‘junior kimbrough’, ‘howlin’ wolf’, and ‘robert johnson’)
(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 in ‘2002’, which earned them a new deal with ‘fat possum records’
(pver the next decade, the ‘black keys’ built an ‘underground fanbase’ through extensive touring of ‘small clubs’, frequent ‘album releases’ and ‘music festival appearances’, and substantial licensing of their songs)
(their third album (2004’s rubber factory) 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 4 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 3 ‘grammy awards’)
(their 2011 follow-up el camino received strong reviews and peaked at #2 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 3 ‘grammy awards’)
.
(in ‘2014’, they released their 8th album (turn blue), their first #1 record in the ‘US’, ‘canada’, and ‘australia’)
