Rename October ‘Rocktober’ this year because The Black Keys are heading down under to tour their stomping brand of swampy garage-blues in arenas across the country. They’ll be supported by the transcendent power-pop riffs of Sydney outfit Royal Headache as an added bonus. The size of the venues the Keys have booked is an indication of just how much Australians have embraced the band over the last couple of years, some well deserved attention for a great band.
