The Black Keys will tour after the release of their new record in the spring.
The 31st of March sees the arrival of Attack and Release, a collection of tracks that were originally written for the late Ike Turner. Esteemed producer Dangermouse initially requested that the band write the songs he planned to record with Turner, before the soul ‘n’ rollers death in December.
The band then chose to claim them for their own and, after Attack and Release is issued through Nonesuch, the band will go on to play the following live dates in the UK:
March
20 London Wilton’s Music Hall (sold out)
May
19 London Astoria
21 Manchester Academy
22 Glasgow ABC
23 Leeds University
28 Birmingham Academy
A single, 'Strange Times', will precede the album on the 24th of March. Watch clips from The Black Keys' recording sessions with Dangermous below:
