Dan Auerbach - any fans?

[Mickeyboro]

If so, I'd quite like to pick your brains about his musical philosophy!

Like his music. Seen him play live.

So, what's to picky Micky?

[ubit]

Totally love his work but not impressed when they cancelled most of their European tour because Patrick hurt his shoulder! Fair enough, but no rescheduled dates. Take a leaf out of Dave Grohls book guys!

[Mickeyboro]

I have to interview him on Monday and wondered if there were any burning questions DA fans would ask in my place.

He has launched a new side band the Arcs, hence the conversation.

[discreet]

Ooh. Ask him if he's still committed to the Black Keys and when their next album is out.

[ubit]

When are they coming back to the UK to finish their tour?

This.

Turn Blue was an awesome record. Why cancel dates and not reschedule?

[rOB]

Yes I really like his work. What's the new band like?

I don't want to knock him as , as I said earlier, I love his work, but the side project sounds just like the Black Keys. Not a bad thing, but if you are looking for a massive journey into different a different style, then you may be disappointed.

[MoonBassAlpha]

Is it Black Keys with a better drummer?

I see, will have a listen. Thanks

Don't ask him what Jack White's beef is!

Do ask him if he has plans to do another Blakroc album.

[Mickeyboro]

Thanks fellas - I did put the question about the aborted BK UK tour, but he was clear that 4 1/2 years of Turn Blue was enough.

Only the second interviewee I've had (the first being Andy Summers) who balked at mention of the group with which he found fame...

Oh, and he's taken up (and enjoyed) playing a Mustang bass in the studio, so maybe there's hope

You could ask him about his work with Dr. John maybe? Think DA produced his latest album

Edit - second most recent, my bad.
