The Black Keys Live Performance of Thickfreakness at Coachella 2011

Date: April 17, 2011

In April 2011, when The Black Keys performed 'Thickfreakness' live at Coachella, they were riding a major wave of success following the release of their album 'Brothers' in 2010. This album not only marked a significant turning point for the duo but also earned them three Grammy Awards, including Best Alternative Music Album. By the time of the Coachella performance, they'd cultivated a broader audience, blending their gritty, raw blues-rock sound with a more polished quality that resonated with fans old and new. It's interesting to note that 'Thickfreakness' was from their earlier album of the same name, released in 2003, showcasing their ability to maintain a strong connection to their roots even while they were achieving new heights in their career. The live energy at Coachella captured the essence of their infectious sound that night, proving they were more than just a band – they were a monumental force in the rock scene.
