Members
Dan Auerbach
Patrick Carney
The Black Keys are an American blues-rock music duo consisting of vocalist/guitarist Dan Auerbach and
drummer/producer Patrick Carney. They were formed in Akron, Ohio in 2001.
Career
Early history and The Big Come Up (2001–02)
The Black Keys formed in 2001 and were active in the underground scene of Akron, Ohio. The band released their
debut album, The Big Come Up, in early 2002. The album was very successful for a new independent rock band.
Along with their second album Thickfreakness, it was recorded entirely in drummer Patrick Carney's basement on an
8-track tape recorder from the early 1980's. The album spawned two singles released as an extended play, Leavin'
Trunk and She Said, She Said which are both cover songs. "Leavin' Trunk" is a traditional blues standard and "She
Said, She Said" is originally by The Beatles. "I'll Be Your Man" would later be used as the theme for the HBO series
Hung. "Breaks" was featured in the 2008 film "Rock N Rolla".

Thickfreakness era (2003)
The band released Thickfreakness in April, 2003 which along with The Big Come Up was recorded in Carney's
basement. The album was favored by critics and three singles were released from the album; Set You Free, Hard
Row and a cover of Have Love Will Travel. Set You Free was featured on the soundtrack for School of Rock, as well
as 2009 comedy I Love You, Man.
The band released a split-EP with The Six Parts Seven on September 16, 2003, titled The Six Parts Seven/The Black
Keys EP and featured one song by The Six Parts Seven and three songs by The Black Keys.
Rubber Factory and first live album (2004–05)
Rubber Factory, the band's third album was released in 2004. During Thickfreakness and Rubber Factory, the band
gained reception and popularity, boosting their career. Rubber Factory was recorded in an abandoned factory in early
[2]
[3]
2004. The factory was located in Akron, but, according to Carney was finally torn down in early 2010. The
album featured singles 10 A.M. Automatic, and 'Til I Get My Way and Girl Is On My Mind, released as an EP.
"When the Lights Go Out" was used in trailers for the film Black Snake Moan. Additionally, "10 A.M. Automatic"
was used in Live Free or Die, The Go Getter, the soundtrack to MLB '06: The Show and an American Express
commercial. The Go Getter also featured "Keep Me". "Grown So Ugly" was featured on Cloverfield and "Girl Is On
My Mind" on Sony Ericcson and Victoria's Secret commercials. Around this time, they also opened for bands such
as Pearl Jam, Beck, Radiohead and Sleater-Kinney.
Around this time, the band also released their first live video album, Live, released in 2005, recorded at The Metro
Theatre in Sydney, Australia on March 18, 2005.
The Moan was an extended play which was released on January 19, 2004, featuring Have Love Will Travel, an
alternate version of "Heavy Soul" and two covers.
Magic Potion and other releases (2006–07)
The Black Keys released Chulahoma: The Songs of Junior Kimbrough, an EP with covers of songs by Junior
Kimbrough. Kimbrough was a bluesman and the founder of Fat Possum Records , whom the band had previously
covered on The Big Come Up. The EP was released on May 2, 2006. Four days later The Black Keys released their
second live album, Live in Austin, TX, also known as Thickfreakness in Austin. It was recorded October 24, 2003
and released May 6, 2006. Soon after, they released their fourth album Magic Potion, which was their first album on
Nonesuch Records. The album featured three singles; You're the One, Your Touch and Just Got To Be. The latter
was featured on the soundtrack to the video game, NHL 08. Your Touch was featured on the 2009 film Zombieland.
The Black Keys recorded a cover of "The Wicked Messenger" for the soundtrack of I'm Not There and have
recorded "If You Ever Slip", a song written by Jesse Harris for The Hottest State soundtrack.
Attack & Release and the Blakroc project (2008–09)
Attack & Release, the band's fifth album, was produced by Danger Mouse and released on April 1, 2008, having
leaked onto the internet by March 4. Attack & Release debuted at number 14 on the Billboard Top 200. The singles
from the album were "Strange Times", "I Got Mine" and "Same Old Thing". "Strange Times" was featured in the
video game Grand Theft Auto IV and NASCAR 09. "I Got Mine" was named the 23rd best song by Rolling Stone's
list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008. "I Got Mine" is used as the theme song for Canadian Police Drama TV Series The
Bridge. "Lies" was used in episodes of Big Love, Lie to Me and was covered by Kelly Clarkson live on her All I
Ever Wanted Tour. "So He Won't Break" was featured on an episode of One Tree Hill. According to an interview in
Pitchfork Media, the band was collaborating on an album with Ike Turner, to be produced by Danger Mouse and
released in 2007, but the idea was rendered impossible with Turner's death in December 2007.

"Some of the stuff
we ended up recording sounds like Screamin' Jay Hawkins", Carney told Flaunt magazine, in April 2008.

Their song "When the Lights Go Out" was featured in the 2007 film Black Snake Moan, and also on the soundtrack
for that movie. The Black Keys were included in the soundtrack of the 2003 movie School of Rock with their song,
"Set You Free". "Lies" was featured in the conclusion of the February 4, 2009 episode of Lie to Me. One of their
songs, "Girl Is on My Mind", was used in a 2006 Sony Ericsson advertisement, starring the tennis players Ana
Ivanović and Daniela Hantuchová, gaining the band more commercial recognition. It was also used in a 2006
Victoria's Secret commercial featuring Heidi Klum and could be heard in the movies Rest Stop and Cashback. Their
song "10 am Automatic" was used in the video game MLB '06: The Show, The O.C., The Go-Getter, and was also

Daniel Quine Auerbach (born May 14, 1979) is a multi-instrumentalist best known as the guitarist and vocalist for
The Black Keys, a blues rock band from Akron, Ohio.
Childhood and early life
Auerbach grew up in a family with strong musical roots. His cousin is the late Robert Quine. Auerbach became
infatuated with blues music after listening to his father's old vinyl records during his childhood.
[2]
He was influenced
early-on by his mother's side of the family, notably his cousin who played bluegrass music. He was heavily
influenced by Junior Kimbrough in college, eventually resulting in him dropping out to pursue the guitar more
seriously. "I've listened to him so much, it's just how I hear it... I studied him so much... Getting F's in college, when
I should've been studying, I was listening to Junior Kimbrough's music instead".
[3]
Other major influences include:
Robert Johnson, Robert Nighthawk, T-Model Ford, Hound Dog Taylor, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Kokomo
Arnold.

Patrick J. Carney (born April 15, 1980) is a multi-instrumentalist best known as the drummer for The Black Keys,
a blues/rock band originating from Akron, Ohio. His uncle is Ralph Carney, sax player for Tom Waits. In 2009, he
created rock band Drummer and released their debut album Feel Good Together on his Audio Eagle Records label.
Biography
Patrick's father, Jim, is a reporter for the Akron Beacon Journal.
Carney has produced records for Beaten Awake, Houseguest, Churchbuilder and The Black Keys.
His style in some songs is similar to John Bonham's with "Aeroplane Blues" being one example. Both Carney and
Dan Auerbach, the lead singer and guitarist for The Black Keys, record with Nonesuch Records. The group's first
album The Big Come Up and second album, Thickfreakness, were recorded in Carney's old basement in Akron on a
street called Pudding Palace.
In late 2005, Carney started his own record label and studio, Audio Eagle. As of May 13, 2008, Audio Eagle has
released albums by Gil Mantera's Party Dream, Puddingman, Horseguest, Beaten Awake, and Horsehead and Other
Girls.
Carney also joined the 9th annual Independent Music Awards judging panel to complicate independent musicians'
[1] [2] [3]
careers.
In 2009, while fellow Black Key Dan Auerbach was on his solo tour, Carney formed a new band called Drummer in
which he plays bass. It was named this due to the fact that each of its members had played drums before in another
Patrick Carney

band.
Audio Eagle Records
In 2005, Carney created Audio Eagle Records; an independent record label for mostly artists in Ohio. It has signed
acts such as Houseguest, Royal Bangs and Carney's own side-project Drummer.
