The Black Keys
Manage episode 408114617 series 3508678
Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney join Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast (Glenn Peoples from Billboard and Jay Gilbert from Label Logic) to talk about the upcoming album, Ohio Players, out April 5. The debut single, "Beautiful People (Stay High)" and other tracks were inspired by the rock, R&B and funk 7" singles they played during their Black Keys Record Hang gigs at clubs around the U.S., Europe and Mexico City in 2023. "The way that a lot of those classic 45s are, there's there's no wasted space," says Carney. The guys talk about writing the song "On the Game" with Noel Gallagher of Oasis fame at a studio in London and, separately, the advice his brother Liam Gallagher gave them about how to build a setlist for a festival gig.
The Black Keys currently have some European dates set for April and May and one U.S. date, the NASCAR Chicago Street Race Weekend two-day festival on July 6.
