The Black Keys – Live @ Lollapalooza
August 6, 2008
I was able to catch the first half of The Black Keys set before rushing over to stake out a good spot for Radiohead at the AT&T stage. After the disappointment that was Duffy, it was nice to see the talented and charismatic duo play their riff-heavy, stomping rock and roll. I’ve listened to the band a few times before and liked what I’ve heard but this was my first real exposure to the Black Keys and I have to say, I’ll be paying this band much more attention in the future.
They produced a huge amount of noise for two people and I was glad that they had their own distinct style that differed from that other bluesy, guitar-and-drum duo. The singer/guitarist’s gruff, soulful vocals really added to their uniqueness, channeling the sound of the classic blues artists rather than the yelps of modern garage rock singers. Also, he’s giving Sam Beam a run for his money in the beard department.
