The Parting Gifts were born out of a collaboration between Greg Cartwright (frontman of The Reigning Sound) and Coco Hames (lead singer for The Ettes). Cartwright and Hames first worked together in 2009, when Cartwright was invited to produce an album for The Ettes. Cartwright and Hames discovered they were musically compatible and decided to collaborate on a one-off single, with each contributing one song. However, once they set aside some time to write material, the ideas came fast and furious, and before long Cartwright and Hames had enough songs to fill an album, so the single gave way to ...

Filed under: News , Video MTV While many of us were playing catchup on our Monday post-Super Bowl sleep, the Black Keys debuted a new video for their single 'Gold on the Ceiling' on MTV. The Keys ditched their usual humorous (see: lothario dinosaurs, kids kicking the crap out of each other, dancing custodians) in favor of more conventional rock-star fare. Directed by Reid Long, the clip details your standard road video rockisms: Pat Carney groovin', Dan Auerbach shredding, the crowd getting pumped, the band laying down some hotness in the studio and trying on ridiculous threads.

The Black Keys' latest video shows how the Ohio rockers have grown and changed, but also how they haven't. "Gold on the Ceiling," a punchy, swag-friendly rave-up from last year's glitz-meets-grit El Camino , is one of the best indications of how guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney have evolved from R&B-tinged; garage-rock to glammed-out T. Rex boogies without missing a domineering step. The video, which premiered last night on MTV, shows El Camino 's trademark not-actually-an-El-Camino van, but otherwise largely shrugs off the overt viral potential of, say, previous single "Lonely Boy" and its Carlton -destroying dancing ...

TAUBA AUERBACH Static II  (2008)

The Black Keys are never afraid to speak out. Whether it’s standing up against free streaming or talking shit on Nickelback, these guys say what they think. When MTV asked them about Lana Del Rey, things were no different. Here’s what they had to say: Auerbach: “On some level, we’ve seen that Lana Del Rey thing [...]

Black Keys singer Dan Auerbach has overseen Dr John's new album 'Locked Down'. A pivotal - and utterly unique - figure in American music, Dr John's career could be set to take another unexpected turn. Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach coaxed the iconic musician into a live performance last year, and it seems that this has snowballed into a full album project. Recorded in Nashville's Easy Eye Sound studio, 'Locked Down' matches Dr John (real name Mac Rebennack) with a group of young musicians handpicked by Dan Auerbach. The project was kicked off by the Black Keys singer, who ...

It’s safe to say that without the tireless efforts of  Alan Lomax , the world may never have been introduced to the likes of Woody Guthrie, Muddy Waters, Leadbelly or countless other musicians the folklorist and ethnomusicologist recorded on dusty back roads, barns or just about anywhere else he could set up his recording gear. Lomax spent his entire career making field recordings of folk and traditional music, both in the U.S. and abroad, amassing a collection of 5,000 hours of sound recordings, 400,000 feet of film, 3,000 videotapes, 5,000 photographs and piles of manuscripts ...

A few days after confirming a residency at Brooklyn, NY’s Brooklyn Academy of Music, Dr. John has fleshed out his plans for his “Dr. John: Insides Out” run. The first weekend of the residency, March 29-31, will find Dr. John and an unspecified mix of collaborators...
