Based in Cincinnati and signed to California based heavyweight, RidingEasy Records, Electric Citizen has spent the last several years touring the world headlining and opening for acts like King Diamond, Pentagram, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Fu Manchu, Budos Band, Charles Bradley, Joan Jett, Wolfmother and playing renowned festivals like Psycho Las Vegas, Psycho California and Desert Fest Belgium. After bursting to the American heavy rock forefront with their 2014 debut album, Sateen, Electric Citizen released their second album, Higher Time in 2016; a breakout moment for the band as a whole and for vocalist Laura Dolan.
Like its predecessor, Higher Time was recorded at The Diamonds studio in Cincinnati by Brian Olive (The Greenhornes, Dan Auerbach, Dr. John, etc.), and in search of an even more expansive feel, Laura, Ross and Brian traveled to mix alongside Black Keys engineer Collin Dupuis at Easy Eye in Nashville, TN.
Electric Citizen branch out with stage-born assurance across a collection of definitive rock ‘n’ roll. It is a bold, complete sound that sacrifices nothing of the band’s on-stage energy and clearly demonstrates that while their progression has been quick, it’s been hard won the traditional way: They worked their collective ass off. Electric Citizen brazenly refuse to be pigeonholed and craft a style that, like every stage they step onto, is completely their own.
Look for them on the road in North America and Europe throughout 2018 and beyond.

The album and its hit single ' won three Grammy Awards. In 2014, they released their eighth album, their first number-one record in the US, Canada, and Australia. Contents. History Early history Guitarist/vocalist and drummer first met when they were eight or nine years old while living in the same neighborhood of. Auerbach and Carney both come from musical backgrounds.
Auerbach is the cousin of guitarist, a 'veteran of New York's scene.' Carney is the nephew of saxophonist, who performed on several albums. While attending, they became friends, though they were part of different crowds —Auerbach was captain of the high school team, while Carney was a social outcast. Encouraged by their brothers, the duo began together in 1996, as Auerbach was learning guitar at the time and Carney owned a and a drum set.
After graduating, both briefly attended the before dropping out. Formation, The Big Come Up, and Thickfreakness (2001–2003) Auerbach attempted to make a living from performing at small bars in town, but realized he would not be able to book shows in other cities without a. To record one, he asked for help from Carney, who agreed to provide recording equipment and allow his basement to be used if Auerbach recruited the other musicians. However, none of Auerbach's backing band showed up on the recording date. Instead, Carney and Auerbach jammed, eventually leading to the duo forming a band in mid-2001. Together, they recorded a six-song demo consisting of 'old rip-offs and words made up on the spot'. After sending the demo to a dozen, they received and accepted an offer in 2002 from a small indie label in Los Angeles called, as it was 'the only label that would sign them without having to see them first'.
According to an interview on 's, the group's name 'the Black Keys' came from an artist diagnosed with schizophrenia, Alfred McMoore, that the pair knew; he would leave incoherent messages on their answering machines referring to their fathers as ' such as 'D flat' when he was upset with them.

In March 2003, the group played at one of its first music festivals, in Austin, Texas, after driving for nearly 24 hours from Akron.
Much as they did for the festival, Carney and Auerbach spent their early tour days driving themselves from show to show in a 1994 van they nicknamed the 'Gray Ghost'. Thickfreakness was released on April 8, 2003 and received positive reviews from critics. The record spawned three singles: ', ', and a cover of 's '. The other cover from the album was Junior Kimbrough's 'Everywhere I Go'. Later named Thickfreakness the third-best album of 2003. That year, the duo received a lucrative offer of ₤200,000 to one of their songs for use in an English mayonnaise advertisement.
At the suggestion of their, they rejected the offer for fear of being perceived as ' and alienating their fan base.

Rubber Factory, Magic Potion, and other releases (2004–2007) The Black Keys released an EP titled on January 19, 2004, featuring 'Have Love Will Travel', an alternate version of 'Heavy Soul', and two covers. The group found itself struggling to sell records or gain airplay of their songs on the radio, and they were not making much money either; they had to absorb a $3,000 loss from a European tour. Frustrated with their lack of success, the band relented and decided to begin licensing their music, beginning with the song 'Set You Free' in a automobile commercial. It was the first of an eventual 300-plus song placements in television shows, films, TV commercials, and video games.
