Love this record.  It has a certain spark that the Keys records are lacking, IMO.

For me, the highlights are "When the Night Comes" (Otis Redding needs to come back from the dead to cover this song) and "Mean Monsoon"

If you buy the vinyl, it comes with a cd, too   :)

question about this. i've ordered vinyl that comes with the cd a couple of times before. Every time I've done this, the cd isn't the actual cd.  it looks like a burnt cd and my computer won't recognize it. which means no new music to put into my ipod. so is this the actual cd or will i get fooled again?

I know what you mean, Walts - I think the last Shellac record I bought came with one of those.  The Auerbach one looks completely normal, though - it's just in a cardboard sleeve instead of the regular CD packaging.  My computer recognized it just fine.

I think I need to get this album sooner rather than later. Sounds real good from the clips and that did nothing to make me think anything less.

Ugh. Going to sound like such a poser, but I agree...that song is fantastic. This album is getting all of my attention these past few days.

"I Want Some More" is mightily awesome, too.

Black Keys guitarist and vocalist Dan Auerbach has recently released a killer solo disc, Keep It Hid, and he's just days away from embarking on a 10-city solo tour!

Backing Auerbach during his sets is the awesome Texas band Hacienda (who will also open the shows), who we introduced you to a few months ago.

The bummer is that, due to a death in his family, drummer Bob Cesare won't be making the trek with Auerbach. In his place, though, will be My Morning Jacket monster Patrick Hallahan. (The last time we saw Patrick he was ecstatically spinning around in circles at the Silent Disco at Bonnaroo, but we're sure he's recovered from that!)

Last night at the show in DC I saw someone up in the balcony taking pictures during the Hacienda set that looked awfully similar to Patrick. I assumed it couldn't be him, since it also reminded me way too much of a recreation of the Evil Urges cover, but what an awesome surprise when he came out on stage! It was a great show as it is but his appearance was a nice bonus.
Title: Re: dan auerbach (black keys) solo album out today
Post by: slimsloslider on Mar 01, 2009, 11:42 AM
i was at the show as well and it was great fun. i think patrick's warming up to/learning the tunes by playing the role of percussionist for now. hacienda's percussionist was the main drummer for both hacienda and auerbach's sets, but i think that'll change later on in the tour. hacienda's got a great sound and they're a perfect fit for dan. pat was maraca-rockin' (4 at a time) and working the triangle, but he got some quality time behind the kit, and it looked like he was really having a blast.

Dan was awesome! And Patrick really kicked it in the end when he was on the kit. Most of the set, Patrick was playing maracas and triangle and just dancing. He is a great dancer! Jim and Tommy where up in the guest of the bands spot on the balcony....again a very EU cover reference, if only they were standing up. I think Jim was laying low because our whole section of the floor was looking his way.

wharf--i forgot..you're in athens, right? oxford?

Brian Phillips from CD 101. He remembered me calling in requesting the verve, he remembers that i was the girl who brought the Richard Ashcroft solo album down to the studio the day it came out. Remember Brian and Joe in the mornings? i listened to them every day for 4/5 years. we had a great discussion of Yo La Tengo and Sonic Youth. He's always wanted to come to the YLT hannukuh shows; it was a crazy night.

Penny, yes I'm in Athens.  Boo on the preppies from Oxford :)

Growing up in Chillicothe, we usually could only get QFM 96.3, so that was mostly my Columbus radion listening.  I've listened to a bit of CD 101, but not much.  They do play some good stuff.  That really is a pretty surreal night for you!  Glad you had a fun, wierd time!

CD 101 were the original alternative station. I loved them. They played everything (similar to NY RXP 101.9) but not quite as good.

amazing show. just awesome. dan is a f'ing ax murderer. true rAwk and roll for sure.

i thought patrick did a great job on percussion. he sat down at his set for a couple songs. other wise he was standing up at the bongos and playing a mean maraca. he also broke the 'biggest triangle ever'. that was pretty awesome.

they ran through most of the album and threw in a couple covers. came back out for a two song encore. i think they played everything they had.

def go see this tour if you have a chance!!

we also closed the downstairs bar with JJ at 2am. he was real chill, got a pic with him.

he told me he wasn't saying anything about any upcoming shows.  ;D

I think the night might have been full of too many stars for you, pennylane. You were lost in the excitement. It was a great night!

I never get to meet Jim. I've tried (damn roadies).  He won't be in Minneapolis that's for sure. The show's at First Avenue, so I could have a chance to meet Prince. Jim got compared to Prince, so if this does happen, I'm just going to say I met Jim. Fuck it.

I guess I could always shoot for meeting Dan.

Dan played First Avenue last night in Minneapolis.  It was darn good.  Seeing is I just got into his album on Monday and the show was Saturday, I was quite impressed.  I posted some pics from the show...not that great, but you get the gist:

For me, the highlights are "When the Night Comes" (Otis Redding needs to come back from the dead to cover this song) and "Mean Monsoon"

Im listening to Keep It Hid and for some reason you saying this stuck with me and I remembered it, but as I was listening the song I thought I remembered you saying it for was Whispered Words (Pretty Lies). Put the Funk Brothers on the instruments and I could totally see The Temptations or Percy Sledge or Otis singing this song.

Its funny though, because I agree When That Night Comes has that vibe too, and I think Mean Monsoon does too and a couple other electric songs do as well, such as My Last Mistake. You'd expect it to be more blues oriented, and some are, but they really harken back to that period possibly moreso. If youre just listening to the album, I dont think its all that apparent, but if you're trying to find a motown or old school R&B underlying sound, its there - even in the lyrics. Mindblowing.  :o

And like I started out saying, first time Ive listened to this in probably over a month, and just as good as when I first heard it. I really like this album.

Just bought tickets for his show on 24th of May in Amsterdam (in the Melkweg)  :D. I'm going with my dad, hope he likes it ;). Just listened to that KCRW radio show with Dan Auerbach and the band and it sounded very good. I like the album and I'm a fan of the Black Keys, so it's going to be a enjoying show for sure :). Does he play some Black Keys songs as well? Havent seen the Black Keys live yet, really need to catch them when they're in Holland again.

fo sho. The Wailers are playing the Arts Fest too, I think the following Sunday. Booker T. is playing on 1 day during the week. I didnt recognize any other bands/musicians theyre having there.

Hartwood Acres has a couple good (free) shows scheduled so far too. July 26th is JJ Grey&Mofro and the Robert Cray Band and August 9th is Son Volt. Old 97's have a show there too, but Ive never listened to them, just heard that theyre good.

Havent seen anything else really that interested me too much besides Phish. Gov't Mule is playing early August though.

Saw him last week with the Last Five in Amsterdam. Great Great show. Was (nearly) as good as a MMJ show, especially towards the end of the show :D. Was the last show of the European tour. Dan didnt have a beard anymore, so I didnt recognize him at first (he looked 20 years younger :P) . Band was great, Patrick Hallahan was there as well. He was having a great time with his triangle and maracas ;D. The simultanous drumming was impressive, seemed like Patrick had played for ages with these guys. Bassplayer was really good as well. Sound was perfect. I hope Dan Auerbach will keep on playing with these guys sometimes, would be great ;).
