A Closer Look At The Artists Of Coachella 2012: Day 1

The Black Keys

Rad. They've been popular on the indie rock scene for several years but 2011 was their major breakout year as they rose to the consciousness of mainstream music listeners without diluting or dumbing down their sound. This won them three Grammys for their Brothers album which had just enough blues vibes to please the masses as well as the music snobs. Last month they released El Camino which I have yet to have a listen to but am nonetheless pleased to see them on the lineup, especially since I missed that opportunity last year as their set was in direct conflict with Cut Copy's which I could not miss.
