Article Quality Increasing
I'm glad that someone added the cover songs portion, that's a good addition. I hope this article continues to grow. A few days ago, it was an extremely small-and largely unhelpful-article. keep up the good work! feel free to critique my 'growing recognition' section and add stuff --Elysianfields 07:05, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Claims?
The line about Robert Plant claims to enjoy them seems odd. It seems unlikely he'd be lying. 69.214.61.94 18:57, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

''Black Keys leave Fat Possum, pay tribute to Junior Kimbrough Tuesday, 11 April at 18:43Connections

Buddy Guy Junior Kimbrough party of helicopters Femi Kuti The Shins The Black Keys The Black Keys - My Mind Is Ramblin' The Black Keys Split With Fat Possum, Prep Releases

Kati Llewellyn and Amy Phillips report: The Black Keys and Fat Possum Records-- seemed like a match made in blues-rock heaven, right? But as Jack and Meg (or Puffy and J.Lo or Britney and Justin) will tell you, sometimes couples that look like they're perfect for each other just aren't meant to be. Sigh...

Black Key Dan Auerbach told Billboard.com recently that his band and Fat Possum have parted ways, and they are currently shopping around for an American home for their forthcoming album,  which they hope to release on September 12. (V2 will put the record out in Europe, and Modular will handle it in Australia.) Although the album is untitled at the moment, songs slated to appear include "Your Touch", "The Flame", and "It's Just Got to Be".

Auerbach assured Billboard.com that the Fat Possum split was "amicable." Yeah, yeah, they all say that, but this time we actually believe it, for quite a few reasons. First of all, Auerbach and his bandmate, Patrick Carney, will leave the Mississipi imprint with a parting gift in the form of the Chulahoma: The Songs of Junior Kimbrough EP. A six-song tribute to the late bluesman (with an answering machine message from Kimbrough's wife tacked on at the end), the disc hits stores  May 2. It includes "The Black Keys - My Mind Is Ramblin'", which the Keys covered on last year's Fat Possum Kimbrough tribute album, Sunday Nights.

Tracklist:

01 Keep Your Hands Off Her 02 Have Mercy on Me 03 Work Me 04 Meet Me in the City 05 Nobody But You 06 My Mind Is Ramblin'

Also, Fat Possum will continue to distribute Carney's Audio Eagle label, which has so far put out the Gil Mantera's Party Dream album Bloodsongs. Future releases include stuff by two Carney side projects, 10% Animals and Marble Arches. The latter also features guitarist Jamie Stillman (ex-party of helicopters), who co-runs Audio Eagle.

That's kind of the rock and roll equivalent of seeing the kid every other weekend, right?

The Black Keys are currently in the midst of an Australian tour, which has them playing some weird festivals with people like Femi Kuti and Buddy Guy. In May, they'll head to England to rock The Shins-curated date of All Tomorrow's Parties.''

Ewe Needle
What the heck is a ewe-needle, as mentioned in the introductory paragraph? DarianW 09:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

A search of "ewe needle" returns less than 150 results, "ewe needle" + the black keys returns only mirror sites. I'm taking it out so the apparent misinformation doesn't spread.

additionnal add featuring black keys song...
A 2006 Nissan advertisement for their pathfinder vehicle also featured a black keys song (set you free). In Canada anyways :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.28.228.227 (talk) 02:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC).

Songs used in advertising
Does anyone feel that this article warrants a section devoted to songs used in commercial advertising? In addition to the references already here, I believe that the song "Desperate Man" has also been featured in at least 2 television ads. Although the exact ones escape me.

New album
The page states that a new BK album is due for release early this year. There's no reference in the article and I haven't been able to find any information myself. Can anyone fill in the blanks there (and as a BK fan I'm kind of interested finding out about this). Ed zeppelin (talk) 21:39, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Black Keys featured in the Movie Cloverfield
I'm still new to wikipedia and haven't quite found my balls for editing articles other people have built so I'll throw this out there for someone else to add. The movie cloverfield doesn't have much of a soundtrack but for the 5 minutes of the movie that music is actually playing the song "Grown So Ugly" off of Rubber Factory was played. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roostar (talk • contribs) 02:18, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Also, the most recent episode of "Criminal Minds" on CBS (wednesday, feb 18th) featured the song "The Lenghts" from Magic Potion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.37.117.82 (talk) 18:45, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

The "A" Team (2010) soundtrack******

"I Got Mine" is played in its entirety in the new The "A" Team movie maybe 10 minutes into it, right after the opening action sequence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrelwooddowd (talk • contribs) 14:48, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

"Cultural references" section
It is a mess. Not only is it almost entirely unsourced, but virtually none of of it constitues as "cultural references". It seems to be a random mix of "bands that sound similar", "bands that like them", and "songs that have appeared in TV/movies etc. I feel like it needs to be deleted, or heavily changed, but there is a ton of info, so I figured I'd check first to see what others though.

 * A week has gone by and no one has said a thing. I'm going to start working on editing it now, as it seems no one has any strong feelings either way about it... Sergecross73   msg me   13:41, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Indie rock
How are the Black Keys indie rock? They are indie in the sense that they've been with indie record labels, but not in the genre sense. Their music is purely blues and garage rock. 86.165.113.251 (talk) 20:10, 21 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Try to find some sources to back this up please. Karst (talk)

The name is plural.
The name "Black Keys" is in the plural. Therefore the word "are" is used. The confusion arises from the British not using the collective singular. They say "Cream are" whereas in the US we say "Cream is". Since this band's name is clearly plural, we use the plural. 67.53.106.162 (talk) 01:38, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Going from duo to full band
No mention that they used to be just a duo and are now a full band? Isn't that relevant?
 * Expanding the amount of musicians they utilize for live performances does not change the size of the band. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk &bull; contributions) 16:00, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
