The Black Keys
The Black Keys is an American rock band from Ohio, U.S.A. The group consists of Dan Auerbach (vocalist/guitarist) and Patrick Carney (drummer/producer).

Further hits Thickfreakness (2003) and The Six Parts Seven/The Black Keys EP (2003) ensured the band stayed popular, and by the mid 2000s the band had achieved a high-profile status, playing to President Barack Obama in 2008 along with Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders.
