Yesterday I thought Dan Auerbach would be the best part of my Sunday...
But as it turns out, that distinction goes to waking up and finding out the American health care reform bill has actually passed. Maybe it's because I've been away from home for so long, but I didn't realize the whole fiasco had moved along that far. Crazy!
And very nearly as crazy will be Dan Auerbach's performance at Le National tonight. (How's that for a transition?) The Black Keys singer/guitarist will be playing material from his solo album, "Keep it Hid," which sounds more or less like The Black Keys. He would lose originality points if not for the fact that The Black Keys write such damn good blues rock - an unfortunate rarity in indie rock circles. One important difference here is that Auerbach will have a larger backing band that can put together a wall of sound and jam it out in ways that The Black Keys can't do as a duo. When I came across this video a few months ago (below the jump), I knew I had to see him come thorough Montreal.
Damn. I'm there.
