The Black Keys have a few weeks off from their North American tour before hitting the road for several weeks with the Kings of Leon in September. A recent home-state performance "brought the audience to a fist-pumping fever," reports the Columbus Dispatch, which says the band's new album, Brothers, "casts its essence in musical gold." The band shares the secret of their success in a new CNN interview: "Turn everything up really loud."
The Black Keys have a precious couple of weeks off from their North American tour before hitting the road again in September for several weeks with the Kings of Leon and The Whigs.
The band performed for a home-state crowd in Columbus last Friday. Reviewing the show for the Columbus Dispatch, Curtis Schieber describes the duo's latest Nonesuch release, Brothers, as a "defining" album for the band. "Rather than resetting the group's course, the album casts its essence in musical gold." The band's performance in Columbus "brought the audience to a fist-pumping fever."

Band mates Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach recently spoke with CNN.com about the making of their new album, their musical influences, and what makes their live set as feverishly good as described above. The secret to their success, says Dan: "Turn everything up really loud." You can watch the video interview, also featuring clips from album, below:
