by

New single Money Maker from the double platinum El Camino at radio now

Exclusive Australian El Camino Tour Edition Available October 12 

From the force responsible for the double-platinum album El Camino, it is time for The Black Keys to release their third single Money Maker to Australian radio this week.

Money Maker was co-written by Danger Mouse (The Grey Album, Gorillaz, Beck) with Auerbach and Carney and recorded at Auerbach’s Nashville based Easy Eye Sound Studio.

Money Maker is one of the live tracks appearing on the El Camino Tour Edition, to be released on October 12, featuring an extra disc with nine live tracks.  The live tracks were recorded on December 2011 at Electro-Vox Recording Studio in Los Angeles and were produced by Kennie Takahashi and engineered by Jason Tarulli.  The tour edition is exclusive to Australia and is available to pre-order now.

El Camino, the bands seventh studio album reached #2 on the ARIA album chart after the huge success of the album’s first triple-platinum single, Lonely Boy.  The track also reached #3 on the ARIA Single Chart, was voted #2 on the triple j hottest 100and was also nominated for the MTV Video Music Awards for Best Rock Video. The second single Gold on the Ceiling has also achieved platinum sales.

Auerbach said of the 2011 release of the album, El Camino, “I think where this record is going to shine for me is playing the songs live.  This record is more straight ahead rock and roll – raw, driving, and back to basics.” Luckily, Australian fan’s won’t have to wait long before experiencing the bands stripped back and honest rock with the Australian October tour fast approaching, which has already seen shows in Sydney and Melbourne sell-out.  The tour follows sell-out shows over the US and Europe as well as headlining acts at both Coachella and Lollapalooza.

The Black Keys will play Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne as well as a headlining appearance at Perth’s Rock It Festival.
