The Black Keys Announce Santa Barbara Bowl Show, Tickets On Sale Saturday

In support of El Camino, The Black Keys have extended their worldwide tour, which Rolling Stone calls “their

biggest, baddest tour ever.” Concert tickets and album packages are available at the band’s site. The Black Keys are

teaming up with Tickets-for-Charity to offer fans access to some of the best seats in the house. Proceeds will benefit

Community Support Services in Akron, OH and W.O. Smith Music School in Nashville, TN. Additionally, to

celebrate the 10th anniversary of the band’s first album The Big Come Up, iTunes will make the record available for

$5.99 for one week. Released December 6 on Nonesuch Records, El Camino was produced by Danger Mouse and The

Black Keys and was recorded in the band’s new hometown of Nashville during the spring of 2011. The record debuted

at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 and has already been certified RIAA Gold. In anticipation of the release, the duo joined

Steve Buscemi on the December 2 episode of Saturday Night Live. This was the band’s second time in 2011 as musical

guests on the show, a “rare distinction,” says Rolling Stone. The band also recently graced the cover of Rolling Stone

(January 19 issue)

Tegan and Sara have played countless festivals around the world including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Glastonbury,

Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and have toured with artists such as Cyndi Lauper, Neil Young, The Pretenders, The

Killers, Jack Johnson, Ben Folds, City and Colour, Death Cab For Cutie, Weezer and Paramore. Since 2003, they have

headlined tours in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, consistently selling out theatres around the world. Their

music has been featured in major network television programs including 90210, Parenthood, Grey’s Anatomy,

Veronica Mars, The Vampire Diaries, and One Tree Hill. Their original 2004 breakthrough song, “Walking with a

Ghost,” was eventually paid the high honour of being covered by The White Stripes. The sisters enjoy reading, hair,

ships, vampires, hot dogs, talking and relating to elderly people, self-soothing, rearranging furniture and giving

excellent advice.
