The Black Keys Fan Lounge Forum

Not sure how I didn't mention Junior Kimbrough earlier. I've always been into raw blues but somehow, like many others, did not find Junior until I found the Keys. I don't think there is anyone more influenctial on me and my playing than Junior. People ask me why I dig the blues and why I like playing the blues. They tell me I have nothing to be blue about. That is no doubt true, but what did Junior have to be blue about? He had any women he ever wanted, threw a rocking party every Sunday night, had his own bachelor pad though he had a common law wife. I know he had a tough upbringing but other than that, sounds like it had it pretty good.

I learned about Radio Moscow through The Black Keys a while back. Dan produced and engineered Radio Moscow's first album. Radio Moscow and The Black Keys are my two favorite bands of all time now.

Two weeks ago I was lucky enough to book a show with Radio Moscow, they were on their way to move from Iowa to North California. the guys also crashed at my place. I was blown away how amazing, humble, almost shy and grateful they were, really cool guys. They signed all of my C.D's, posters and gave me a free t-shirt.

When we were at my apartment after the show, I asked Parker (guitar and vocals)what was it like to work with Dan? He said " ...Dan is a cool dude .... He doesn't like it when you mess up too much ..." also "He made us work 12 hrs a day for three days straight" no wonder why that album is so fuckin' good.

cheers smokesignals. The Main St Gospel sound real interesting. gawd knows how dan finds time to record all these bands. no wonder he records so fast - he needs to

@japas that's a cool experience you had

Yeah man, that was an awesome time. I talked to Paul Marrone (RM's live drummer) for quite a bit, he is a real cool guy. I also met vinny his brother who is kind of annoying hahaha. Paul told me about his side project called Cosmic Wheels, it has pretty much the same sound of Radio Moscow, only him and his brother are in it tho. Paul does Guitars/Drums/Organ/Vocals/Slide Guitar/Sitar/Percussion and his brother plays Bass. Paul moved to California with Radio Moscow, but his brother stayed in Kansas city I guess he can continue over there without him....

if you dig Radio Moscow you will love Cosmic Wheels
