The Black Keys

In December 2011, The Black Keys were riding high on the success of their album "El Camino," which had been released just days earlier on December 6. This album marked a significant moment in their career, as it propelled them into mainstream recognition, with its infectious blend of rock and blues infusing a fresh energy into their sound. The live performance of "Lonely Boy" at the KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas showcased the band's raw charisma and powerful music, capturing the audience's attention. It’s interesting to note that "El Camino" was nominated for several Grammys and won Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for "Lonely Boy." This performance not only highlighted their growing popularity but also set the stage for their future success, making it a memorable moment in their journey.
