On January 8, 2011, The Black Keys will kick off the new season of NBC’s Saturday Night Live with host Jim Carrey. This appearance comes after a monumentally successful 2010 for the duo, whose acclaimed release Brothers, recently received six Grammy nominations. Additionally the album was named iTunes’ Album of the Year and Rolling Stone’s No. 2 Album of the Year. The record also tops American Songwriter’s year-end list and is featured on round-ups at NPR, Time magazine, Magnet, Mojo, Q, Clash and Uncut, among many others. The duo is also currently featured on the cover of Spin magazine’s Best of 2010 issue as Artist of the Year.

“Tighten Up,” the first single from Brothers, remains No. 1 at Modern Rock radio after eight continuous weeks. This is the duo’s first No. 1 hit as well as the first in Nonesuch’s 40-plus year history. Additionally, the video for the single won Breakthrough Video at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. The album also debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart and No. 2 on the Current Albums chart—the band’s highest chart positions ever.

In celebration of their breakout year, the duo will perform three sold-out New Year’s shows at Chicago’s prestigious Aragon Ballroom with special guests The Greenhornes. For more tour information, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
