Seriously, I’ve been waiting a long time. I’m so excited I could cry. After snubbing Big Day Out 2011 (okay, it wasn’t really a snub, they were exhausted, but I’m still disappointed), THE BLACK KEYS are here to party.
They’re back and bringing you all your favourites from their latest release El Camino. My little brother has hinted at me for months the album would make a perfect 13th birthday present. It will. I’m buying it, okay? And you know what else I’m buying? Tickets to this.
The psychedelic/garage duo are supported by Sydney garage favourites, Royal Headache. Don’t you want to hear Dan Auerbach’s blues vocals up close and personal? At least as intimate as an entertainment centre venue really can be…
Nevertheless, this is going to be a rollickin’ good time. Apparently, the show features huge visuals from 20 projectors and giant mirror balls. Don’t you want to see that? Now for a taste of what to expect, listen to ‘Psychotic Girl.’
