I just started getting into the Black Keys. I guess they've been around for like 12 years. Guess I'm a little behind the modern music scene. I come to find out they don't use a bass player, except when on tour. I saw them on Austin City Limits and the bass player was standing way in the back, you could barely see him. For just a guitar and drums they sound pretty good. Anyone else like them? |

From an onlookers viewpoint,I like 'em. Simple,dirty grooves with a solid hook,good trashy beats,gravelly-blusey lyrics..Good stuff! |

|  | Gettin' medieval on yo' bass... | | Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Like old Hampshire, but New | | | There's no bass player member of the band because only the two of them are official "The Black Keys," but there IS bass on a lot of the songs and they bring a bassist along live. I'm not sure if Dan Auerbach lays down the bass tracks in the studio or if a session musician does it. They do bring a bassist (and keyboardist) on tour, but naturally, since they aren't official "members" that fans come to see, they're in a backline and Auerbach and Patrick Carney are up front.
Didn't we just have a thread on this already, couple months ago?
