The Black Keys - Album, Tour & Competition

London, UK (V2 Music) - On September 11th 2006, The Black Keys release their fourth full-length album Magic Potion. Despite its title, Magic Potion is ironically the sound of The Black Keys getting their signature sound down to a science — it's the band at their heaviest, grittiest and most powerfully stripped down. From the nasty, sweaty strut of the album's first single, 'Your Touch,' to the sublimely narcotic devotional ballad 'You're the One' down to the stomping, house-rocking call to arms 'Modern Times,' The Black Keys have made the finest recording of their career.

To mark the release the band will be touring the UK this Autumn:
September

Mon 25th Ireland, Dublin, Music Centre
Tues 26th Glasgow, ABC
Wed 27th Newcastle, University
Thurs 28th Sheffield, Leadmill
Sat 30th Birmingham, Academy 2

October
Sun 1st Bristol, University
Mon 2nd Manchester, University 2
Wed 4th London, Forum

And that's not all. To celebrate the release of Magic Potion, the band are offering a free download of album track 'Strange Desire' and a the chance to enter a competition to see the band perform a secret show in their hometown of Akron, Ohio.
