THE BLACK KEYS TO PERFORM AT MYSPACE SECRET SHOW IN CLEVELAND ON MAY 7
Critically acclaimed band The Black Keys will perform a special intimate MySpace Secret Show, Wednesday, May 7 at the tiny, 170 person capacity Beachland Tavern in Cleveland Ohio.
The band, who hails from Akron, Ohio -- a mere thirty miles from Cleveland - recently released its fifth full-length LP Attack & Release on Nonesuch Records. The album has been received with tremendous critical praise with Rolling Stone saying in a glowing review: "[Attack and Release] is the Keys' most multicolored set: A psychedelic hybrid of vintage Southern R&B, brutish British Invasion rock, and country blues that calls to mind race-blurring Seventies badasses like Jim Ford and Tony Joe White. "
The album debuted on the Billboard album chart at #14 marking the band's highest position to date. Produced by Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley, Gorillaz, The Grey Album), Attack & Release was recorded at engineer Paul Hamann's Suma Studio outside Cleveland, Ohio. Initial collaboration began when Danger Mouse (a.k.a. Brian Burton) approached the band to write songs for an album he was developing with the late R&B legend Ike Turner. As the band began composing tracks for Turner early last year , they quickly realized they were actually laying the groundwork for a new album of their own.
MySpace Music has organized more than 100 Secret Shows since the franchise launched in February 2006 with artists like Rilo Kiley, Fran Ferdinand, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Ray LaMontagne performing in cities around the world.
