Excerpt

The Black Keys' schedule looked to be pretty well full up following the May 18 release of their latest Nonesuch album, Brothers, opening for Pearl Jam at Madison Square Garden, back-to-back spots on late-night TV for Letterman and Fallon, and US and European tours through the summer. Now comes word that the band will open for Kings of Leon throughout September. Also, it seems Frank the Puppet Dinosaur is back with a crass new music video.

The Black Keys' schedule looked to be pretty well full up following the May 18 release of their latest Nonesuch album, Brothers, with a May 20 set at Madison Square Garden opening for Pearl Jam; back-to-back spots on late-night TV, on the Late Show with David Letterman May 25 and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon May 26; and tour dates through the US, Europe, and back to the States again throughout the summer. Now comes word that there are more live shows to follow, when the band opens up for Kings of Leon over a dozen dates throughout the month of September.

Starting September 3 at the Verizon Wireless Music Center in Indianapolis, The Black Keys will support Kings of Leon on tour stops through Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Alabama, and Texas, finishing up in Dallas on September 23. The Athens, Georgia-based trio The Whigs will open on all these dates as well.

To pre-order Brothers now on vinyl or CD and receive the complete album as MP3s on release date, visit the Nonesuch Store, where you can also pick up a copy of the 12" vinyl single of the album tracks "Tighten Up" and "Howlin' for You," available now.

And word on the street is that Frank the Puppet Dinosaur, star of the "Tighten Up" video, is back to his old tricks in a blatantly crass new video for the track "Next Girl," now on The Black Keys' YouTube page.

    Silkroad and Rhiannon Giddens's 'American Railroad' Album Out Now

    American Railroad, the new album from the Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens, is out now. It is the culmination of four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the US to uncover and uplift stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America. "The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and music that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity, and that must be heard and recognized," Giddens says. Also out now are a performance video of the track "Mahk Jchi" and the first episode of the American Railroad podcast series. The US fall tour continues to November 23.
