    I cant get over just how much that I love this band. I've gotten almost all of their stuff in the past month. There first albums that are dirty, garage sounding and the last 2 more produced albums are all freaking incredible!!!!!!!

    I've heard of them for a while but never gave them a listen for whatever reason until now. Idiot!

    Don't you hate it when that happens.....I'm especially guilty of that with the Driveby Truckers, which I'll be seeing Saturday!! WOOHOO!!!
    AS for the keys....I was late to that party to but had not really heard much about them so I had not really shunned them and I'm looking forward to seeing them with KoL in September.
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    Saw them last night in philly at Penn's Landing (River Stage). They were great. Pretty cool place as well. Played a lot of stuff off "Brothers" which sounded awesome. Unfortunately I realized I left my battery for my camera in the charger at home and forgot to take it out. So i had a camera with me, but no battery. duh.gif

    Black keys are unstoppable.

    I've let two of my friends that listen to mostly rap hear them and they thought they were dope. That means something...

    As far as modern rock bands are concerned, the black keys are the best. For me they are the only modern rock band that I can always go back to.

    You can't knock on the blues, that's all I gotta say.

    never heard them play. However, trusting PJ's taste in music in general, if they toured with the boys then its worth it to go to a show. So I am , this friday. Outdoor venue, very small and intimate. looking forward to this!!

    Man, super jealous of the last two posters. I really want to see them again, especially in a small venue!

    These guys are so bad-ass! I am so excited to see them on SNL tonight, the Fiance and I listened to the 'Brothers' album today in preparation. I think they'll play Tighten Up and....Everlasting Light?...Maybe? But I would be really impressed if they played Never Gonna Give You Up!

    Howlin' for you and Tighten Up.

    Both awesome, though I thought the drums on Howlin' werent as prominant sounding as on the record. Which is what i love about that song
