The Black Keys are back in the United States after a tour through Europe, ready to launch their extensive North American tour with music from their latest Nonesuch release, Brothers, which will run through the rest of the summer and into the fall. Before they hit the road, Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney, and crew perform the album track "Tighten Up" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight. Also featured on tonight's episode are actor Zac Efron and "supernatural entertainer" Lior Suchard. Tune in at 11:35 PM ET on NBC.

The US tour gets under way later this week, when The Black Keys play the CMAC Performing Arts Center at the Finger Lakes Community College up in Canandaigua, New York, Friday night as special guests of The Flaming Lips, followed by a return to Patrick and Dan's home state of Ohio where The Black Keys headline the Nautica Pavilion in Cleveland on Saturday. (And speaking of Cleveland, you can read what each band member had to say about LeBron James's choice to leave that city earlier this month: Patrick in the Wall Street Journal, Dan in Rolling Stone.)

Next week, the tour heads to Washington, DC's Constitution Hall and New York, where the band plays back-to-back sold-out shows at SummerStage in Central Park. For complete tour information, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
