The Black Keys-Gold On Ceiling

Finally got around to downloading the new Black Keys album and yes, it's as good as everyone says it is! So, being the concert whore that I am, the next obvious move was buying tickets to their London show in February (woo hoo!). To double the pleasure, their opening act is one of our favorites, Band of Skulls. We saw them in LA and have been anxiously anticipating their second album for the past two years...here's a post I wrote after seeing them perform. It's so fun to have a record of the things you do/see/think on any given day - oh, blogs.

If you want to feel like a bad-ass...

Listen to "I Know What I Am"

Band of Skulls has been on my radar for some time now so I checked out their performance last week at the Hammer Museum (free summer concert series, Also I Like To Rock). I'm not usually into metal type sounds but these guys had seriously impressive presence and in my opinion, should have headlined the night instead of Amazing Baby (way too over-hyped).

"I Know What I Am" is one of those songs that I can turn up and instantly feel like I can take on anything and anyone. Bad -Ass.
