I was a bit down and out this weekend from a pulled shoulder and missed Yuri’s Night down in Silicon Valley, an all-day music and arts festival that had Les Claypool and The Black Keys rounding out the top of the lineup. I’ve only caught The Black Keys in a music festival setting, but they consistently blew me away and I’ve been waiting for the chance to see them in a more intimate setting. It looks like I’ll be waiting for that a bit longer, but I’m sure I’ll get another chance as they are touring to support their new release Brothers. They just put out a special-edition pre-order package as well.
In advance of the release of The Black Keys’ new album, Brothers, fans may pre-order a limited-edition collectible hardbound book/deluxe edition of the album, available online only via the band’s website: www.theblackkeys.com. The special package is available for pre-order now.
