I know its been awhile hey? Well here it is.....The Black Keys.
I had the chance to shoot this great group afew weeks ago. I did have my reservations though. I have never been nor will I ever be a fan of 2 piece bands. With that being said though The Black Keys really impressed me. They started with the full band and about 5 songs in they stripped it down to just the two piece line up that made them famous. With only a guitar and drum on stage it was remarkably full sounding. I didnt miss hearing the bass player or even keyboard player in the background.
If you are going to see a "show" or "spectacle" you will be let down completely. This band just comes out and rocks hard, no audience pandering just getting right down to playing their bluesy, soulful jams. Now the MTS centre would not be my first choice to see this band I would much prefer something smaller and more intimate like a small shitty jazz or blue club but I cannot ever see that happening in the near future. If you get a chance to see them play live take it! If you get a chance to see them in a smaller setting tell me and we can go together!!
