With the "release" half of the Attack & Release equation now covered, all the Black Keys have left to do this year is attack stages the world over. The Keys already had a ton of tour dates scheduled, and they just increased that number to two tons with the addition of North American shows in the summer and fall.

More immediately, they'll head Down Under for a series of shows that start June 17 in Brisbane, Australia.

Also, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney will be playing guest DJ on XMU satellite radio's "XMU A.I.R. Time: Artists in Residency" program for the entire month of June. The show airs multiple times on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
