Our Favorite Photos of 2009: Dan Auerbach

Last night between abbreviated sets at our local alternative rock station’s holiday mega-show at the WAMU Theater, the house music featured some Animal Collective, but most often some choice Black Keys cuts. Black Keys guitarist and singer Dan Auerbach was in the early running for one of my favorite albums of the year with his all analog solo effort Keep It Hid, and it still remains high on my list. Backed by Hacienda, his set at the Showbox in March was without question one my set’s of the year. The material is incredibly strong, and he and his band’s musical skill not only did justice to the musical influences, but set a standard in my mind that I doubt few bands in my future (if any bands at all) will ever be able match.
