The Black Keys to Perform on "Saturday Night Live" for the 2nd Time This Year, December 3rd

The Black Keys will perform on NBC's Saturday Night Live on December 3, just days before the release of their latest album, El Camino, due out December 6. This is the band's second time this year as musical guests on the show, a "rare distinction," says Rolling Stone, which broke the news in an exclusive this morning. Steve Buscemi will host.

The Black Keys, Steve Buscemi. Can't really go wrong with that!.. aside from the fact that the skits aren't very funny anymore. Compared to the old days, anyway.

Man it would be rad if Colbert was an hour long and let the Black Keys play 4 or 5 songs like he did for Radiohead.

Seriously though, am i the only one who thinks they should do a big blow out performance on SNL with backing singers, horns, extra percussion and possibly a gong? (ok, maybe no gong) If your gonna have the bass and keyboards then just go all out. I still say adding Rene' and Abraham in place of the other two dudes would add some life to the show. I will never understand why they did not bring on Nikki Wray along with Hacienca to play Sinister Kid on SNL. That would have KILLED! Am i the only person who thinks that? They need to consult with me on ideas for their performances, in my humble opinion.

@babganoosh - agreed. I haven't listened to lonely boy much lately. I like it a lot but after buying it and listening to it a couple times a day, i tucked it away. like others have said, with brothers, when howlin' and next girl were having the shit played out of them... it made it impossible to listen to those tracks once the album finally dropped.

@dusty - I'm with you man. I would love a big production. Like you said, if you're going to do it, might as well do it up. Maybe get Bobby Keys out there on sax and some doo-wop girls and all that shit. Some Hacienda dudes perhaps??? Couple cast members out there with shakers or something. Dan in a santa hat... ?? oh jesus did I just say that? or did I think it? CAN YOU HEAR ME?

I would support that.
