The Black Keys have canceled the upcoming North American leg of their International Players Tour, with dates for the jaunt abruptly erased without explanation from the band’s social media pages and official website.
On Friday, fans noticed that the Ticketmaster listing for the International Players Tour’s North American arena shows — which was set to begin September 17 in Tulsa, Oklahoma and run through November 12 in Detroit — listed all of the shows as canceled.

The Black Keys recently embarked on their European tour, and upon arriving in London for the first of three nights at the O2 Academy Brixton, the duo were joined onstage by Noel Gallagher, one of the collaborators on their new album Ohio Players.
The former Oasis guitarist appears on three tracks on the Black Keys’ guest-heavy LP, and during the encore at Tuesday’s show, came out to perform two of those tracks with the band live for the first time: “Only Love Matters” and “On the Game.”

Even during their early 2010s commercial peak, when outside producers, pop-funk influences, and expanded instrumentation transformed them into a genuine mainstream act, the Black Keys’s songs were still full of empty space. Listening to “Tighten Up” or “Lonely Boy” today, it’s striking how spare they sound. They’re slick but not overproduced. There’s not a single extraneous element, enabling the hooks to hammer home with maximum efficiency and giving the songs’ indelible grooves plenty of room to breathe.
The same can’t be said for the band’s 12th studio album, Ohio Players, which is so overstuffed with guest musicians that Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney are often swallowed whole. For the most part, this isn’t an issue of principle so much as practical listenability. While a large ensemble approach is certainly compatible with the album’s funk, hip-hop, and R&b-inflected stylings, the mixing and...

The Black Keys should have Ugk and Outkast’s 2007 hit “Int’l Players Anthem” blast through every arena they take the stage on during their forthcoming tour — it would only be fitting. The band has announced the 2024 International Players tour in support of their forthcoming album Ohio Players, out Friday. The North American run of shows will feature special guests The Head And The Heart on select dates.

It’d be easy enough for the Black Keys — singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney — to remain in rock star mode at this point in their career. After all, they’ve reached the top of their craft: radio hits, arena tours, festival headlining slots, and twelve albums. But that vibe doesn’t reflect their modest Ohio upbringing.
“The average person might just be familiar with a couple of our hit songs and not know the story,” Carney said. “To be able to have a true document that shows all the work and things that went into that was interesting, so you have to tell the actual story.”
The duo shares their tale — warts and all — in the new rock doc “This Is a Film About the Black Keys,” which debuted at SXSW on Monday. The film traces the band’s origin, starting with two young men brought...

The Black Keys named one of their most popular albums “Brothers,” which seems on the face of it to be a positive statement of purpose and, obviously, fraternalism between the rock duo’s two members, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney. But the question remains: what kind of brothers? Like, Oasis’ battling Gallaghers, or some gentler brand of bros? It’s a question fans will think about after seeing “This Is a Film About the Black Keys,” an engaging music documentary that trains a spotlight on some lesser-known, historical tensions between the two as well as what binds them. One thing is clear: In the Black Keys, ebony and ivory don’t always live together in perfect harmony.
The term “arranged marriage” is invoked more than once in the film for the relationship between Carney and Auerbach, which seems a little strange, based on what we know of the duo’s shared biography.

The Black Keys are coming back with a new album titled Ohio Players, an LP heralded as the duo’s most collaborative to date.
Ahead of Ohio Players’ April 5 release, Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach have shared their first single, “Beautiful People (Stay High),” which they co-wrote with Beck and Dan “The Automator” Nakamura.
“We had this epiphany: ‘We can call our friends to help us make music.’ It’s funny because we both write songs with other people – Dan all the time [as a solo artist and producer], me when I’m producing a record.

Noted Ohioans The Black Keys have announced their 12th studio album, Ohio Players, which comes out April 5th via Nonesuch Records. Its lead single, “Beautiful People (Stay High),” is streaming now.
The follow-up to 2022’s Dropout Boogie, Ohio Players boasts an impressive list of collaborators. Among the guest stars are Noel Gallagher, Greg Kurstin, Dan “The Automator” Nakamura, and Beck, the latter two of whom co-wrote “Beautiful People (Stay High)” along with The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney. Pre-orders for the album are ongoing.
Backed by rollicking drums and a rock ‘n’ roll piano, “Beautiful People” is a soulful ode to hedonism with a chorus that gleefully proclaims: “All of those beautiful people stay high.” Its accompanying lyric video feels straight out of the 1960s, playing to the song’s retro vibe with grainy, black-and-white footage and plenty of mid-century digs.

Most Led Zeppelin fans don’t know that lead singer Robert Plant is also a bass player. He even played a bit on one of the band’s earlier albums! Even though the rock legend was stuck on vocals when performing with Zeppelin, he has dabbled in other instruments over the years. In 2005, he admitted he wanted to play bass for a band many have compared to the one that made him famous.

Something Marvel has done particularly well in 2017 is promoting its line of books via dynamic multimedia content, in this case, through music videos. Not surprisingly, their latest offering aims to hype their currently ongoing crossover event series, Monsters Unleashed.
Even if you’re unfamiliar with what’s been going on, you can probably glean from the book’s title that it has something to do with horrific monstrosities. Well, you’re pretty much right because this story, concocted by writer Cullen Bunn (Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Uncanny X-Men) and artist Steve McNiven (Civil War), unites the likes of the Avengers, the Champions, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the X-Men and the Inhumans against a variety of kaiju-like threats, some of which will be familiar to longtime Marvel readers.
As for the clip itself, it parodies various types of videos we would have seen in the 1950s or, if you’re like me,...

Steve Miller won some kudos for taking the music industry to task during his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last week, but the Black Keys, who inducted him into the hall, weren’t big fans of the display. In an interview with Rolling Stone on Wednesday, Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach said he and his bandmate, Pat Carney, were disappointed by Miller, who complained about, among other things, the fact that the Hall wanted to charge his bandmates and their wives $10,000 to attend the ceremony. Auerbach went so far as to say that he and Carney...
