When it came time for The Black Keys to write a second album for Nonesuch Records, they did what anyone in touch with today's musical tapestry would do: hire a hip-hop producer.

Danger Mouse, who is probably best known for his Gnarls Barkley contribution and, secondly, for his Beatles / Jay-Z mash up "The Grey Album," worked with guitarist-vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney to create their most dynamic release since forming in Akron, Ohio in 2002.

The indie blues duo released "Attack & Release" in April 2008 and, to everyone's surprise, it was successfully full of all kinds of new interesting components -- organ, piano, synths, and a couple of Tom Waits cohorts.

The Black Keys launch their summer tour on June 17 in Australia, make their way across the pond and stop in Milwaukee on Sept. 5 for a show at Turner Hall Ballroom. Tickets are $25 and are available at The Pabst and The Riverside box offices, on the Web at www.turnerhallballroom.org and www.tickets.com, or by calling (414) 286-3663 or (800) 511-1552.

wow I haven't been on this site in months and this is exactly the type of post that made me stop coming here. Sandstorm, you never cease to amaze with your levels of stupidity. Attack and Release is on the short list for best albums of the year, so far. Danger Mouse came in and got a masterpiece out of them, making a record much greater than they've ever made before. I always thought they were pretty good before this album, kind of a second rate White Stripes ala The Soledad Brothers. But this album is effing awesome.

everybody should listen to the Black Keys. they make for a great example of how a perfectly awful and unlistenable band can get good press behind it and have people think it makes music that is not awful and unlistenable.
