The Black Keys

On October 5, 2008, The Black Keys were riding high on the wave of their acclaimed album 'Attack & Release', which had been released just a few months prior, in April. The album marked a notable shift in their sound, introducing a richer sonic palette thanks to producer Danger Mouse, who added layers of texture and depth. This performance at Disco Rodeo in Raleigh showcases their electric energy, melding blues rock with a modern twist that had begun to capture a broader audience. Interestingly, '10 A.M. Automatic' is a track from their earlier album 'Rubber Factory', yet its inclusion reverberates with the fresh approach introduced in 'Attack & Release', blending their gritty roots with new influences. The band's rapport and dynamic sound that night echo their journey of evolving while staying true to their essence.
