dan auerbach (black keys) solo album out today

[capt. scotty]

That tune on Conan he just played was pret-tay good....Last Mistake?

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.

I hope he sent the Jonas Brothers home crying in shame.

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.

thanks for the help! i went with the CD and love it!! alot of good tunes on this one.

i don't post much but had to thank you guys for this thread.  i got this cd yesterday and its really blowing my mind.  "my last mistake" "trouble weighs a ton" and "real desire" == so great.   8-)

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   :)

agree ALady 'when the night comes' is now my favorite. WOW.

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.

i just won a pair of tix from our local record store for the dc show on saturday, crooked beats! i've since picked up the ep from the opening bands: those darlins (www.myspace.com/darlins) and the hacienda (http://www.haciendaonline.net/), and i'm completely jazzed. i must pass on the ticket karma

I've had this for a while now and I love it more and more.  Just got it on vinyl and going to see him Sunday in Boston..can't wait!

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!)

Seeing this guy tomorrow in Boston. Should be nice to hear him with a full band backing him.

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.

[slimsloslider]

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.
