The Black Keys, who are currently touring North America on their Turn Blue world tour, recently sat down to discuss life on the road in the new video below. The video, directed by the group's longtime creative director, Michael Carney, offers a look on stage and behind the scenes as band mates Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney talk about the evolution of their touring life, from humble beginnings to now, when the important things remain the same, despite the change in venues.

"It doesn't really matter what size room we play in," says Auerbach. "You can still make that connection with people."

"We still approach the concert the same way," adds Carney. "It's all about the performance."

Auerbach goes on to say: "Some of these recent shows we've played in big arenas have been just absolutely electric. The roar could kind of knock you over when you got on stage. What really matters most is that the audience has that connection."

Carney later concludes: "One thing that Dan and I don’t take for granted is getting the opportunity to play for people who really want to listen."

Hear more of what they have to say about life on the road here:

The Turn Blue tour heads next to the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver Thursday night before headed back to the States for shows in Portland, Seattle, and then to California in the week ahead. For details and tickets, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

And while they're at it, The Black Keys are giving away an autographed U-Turn Turntable, their complete album discography on vinyl, and an official Turn Blue poster. Click here for your chance to win.

    The Way Out of Easy, the first album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his long-running ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Jay Bellerose—since their 2022 debut Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy, which Pitchfork named one of the Best Albums of the 2020s So Far, is out now on International Anthem / Nonesuch Records. Like that album, The Way Out of Easy comprises recordings from LA venue ETA, where Parker and the ensemble held a weekly residency for seven years. During that time, the ETA IVtet evolved from a band that played mostly standards into a group known for its transcendent, long-form journeys into innovative, groove-oriented improvised music. All four tracks on The Way Out of Easy come from a single night in 2023, providing an unfiltered view of the ensemble, fully in their element.

    The Staves' new EP Happy New Year, out today, includes three acoustic versions of tracks from their new album, All Now—"I Don't Say It, But I Feel It," "After School," and "All Now"—and a cover of The Beatles' "She's Leaving Home." Also out now: an acoustic performance video for "After School," which the duo calls "a love song to our sister Emily inspired by the bands we were listening to in the '90s. Putting on the rose-tinted glasses and embracing nostalgia."
