They're not new by any standards. Formed in 2001.
I love their story. Neighbours since their childhood, friends from Ohio who started a band. They've had musical connections though. Their dad, uncle were all musicians.
The band's name has a not so interesting story. Some schizophrenic neighbour used to call them Black Keys or D Flats because he didn't like them. Yup, that's about it. More here - http://pigeonsandplanes.com/2012/07/the-meaning-behind-band-names/8/
It's like you've asked your friend to tell you their love story and they say, "oh, we just got drunk and hooked up." Wait, that's my story. Kidding.
No, I'm not.
Okay, maybe I am.
Ugh sitcom influence for that dialogue right there.
Moving right on, they've got the Grammys and record with Universal, so they're all set. They also do the festival circuit. So, look out for them.
They used to have an old Chrysler van called the Gray Ghost. I think if you ever start a band, aim for greatness and make sure you have enough trivia worthy stories.
They are sort of like the White Stripes, also just drums and guitar but they're better. Is what I feel. :)
My favourite song - Little Black Submarines
Listen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiMEiJnY8dI (this is of course my favourite album of theirs, El Camino, also won the Grammy for the best Rock album. Give the others a listen too.)
