The Black Keys

In March 2005, The Black Keys were on the rise following the release of their critically acclaimed album "Thickfreakness," which was launched in 2003. This live recording from Sydney captures the raw energy and gritty blues-rock sound that characterized their early work. During this period, the duo was signed to Fat Possum Records and was gaining traction in the alternative and indie rock scenes. The music from the setlist, which includes songs like "10 A.M. Automatic" and "Busted," illustrates their ability to blend catchy melodies with a garage rock aesthetic. Interestingly, "Thickfreakness" solidified their reputation, showcasing their trademark guitar riffs alongside Dan Auerbach's soulful vocals. This live performance evidences their burgeoning appeal as they were transitioning into larger venues and broader recognition, setting the stage for their subsequent success in the music industry.
