Soundcheck
The Black Keys
After four albums of down-and-dirty blues tracks recorded in basements, The Black Keys teamed up with superstar producer and Gnarls Barkley mastermind Danger Mouse. The result is “Attack & Release,” a dynamic CD of blues rock that avoids the genre’s biggest pitfalls: studio polish.
The Black Keys will perform at Terminal 5 tonight at 8 p.m. (The show is sold out.) They also play McCarren Park Pool on Aug. 5
ike turner? really? you were psyched about working with a man who got famous by torturing and exploiting the talents of his wife? sorry guys, i know we like to separate art from the artist, but that's pretty freaking -not- ok. gross.
soul great! seriously?
please ask them about ike turner, john. really, i want an explanation of why they thought it would be ok to work with him. i want to know how anyone can work with a man who no woman could work with. ike turner deserves obscurity.
so yesterday was all about ethics in music. apparently today we can just forget about them (ethics).
I love this band! Thank you Soundcheck for opening my ears to another great band.
pat smith: sure. yours? hot.
