The Black Keys is an American rock band formed in Akron, Ohio in 2001. The group consists of Dan Auerbach (guitar, vocals) and Patrick Carney (drums). Beginning as an independent act, the group forged a raw, blues rock sound for itself with its early albums, which were lo-fi, self-produced, and recorded in basements. The duo eventually emerged as one of the most popular garage rock artists during a second wave of the genre's revival in the 2000s. Originally friends from their childhood, Auerbach and Carney founded the group after dropping out of college. After signing with indie label Alive, they released their debut album, ''The Big Come Up'' (2002), which earned them a new deal with Fat Possum Records. Over the next decade, the Black Keys built an underground fanbase through extensive touring of small clubs, frequent album releases and music festival appearances, and extensive licensing of their songs. Their third album, ''Rubber Factory'' (2004), received critical acclaim and boosted the band's profile, eventually leading to a record deal with major label Nonesuch Records in 2006. After self-producing and recording their first four records in makeshift studios, the duo completed ''Attack & Release'' (2008) in a professional studio and hired producer Danger Mouse, a frequent collaborator with the band. The group's commercial breakthrough came in 2010 with ''Brothers'', which along with its popular single "Tighten Up", won three Grammy Awards. Their 2011 follow-up ''El Camino'' received strong reviews and peaked at number two on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart, leading to the first arena concert tour of the band's career, the El Camino Tour. The album and its hit single "Lonely Boy" won three Grammy Awards.
