This past Sunday, hundreds of celebrities gathered in the Staples Center in Los Angeles to celebrate the 53rd annual Grammy Awards. Notable musicians in attendance included The Black Keys, comprised of Akron's own Dan Auerbach and Pat Carney. It was the duo's first time at the Grammy's, but they were nominated for four separate awards! Much to Akron's satisfaction, the band went home with two of the four- a notable accomplishment. In the pre-televised portion of the Grammy's, they were awarded Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Rock Performance by a a Duo or Group with Vocals for their song, "Tighten Up". On top of that, Carney's brother, Michael, won a Grammy for Best Recording Package for the band's latest album, "Brothers". Being a fan from the 330 and having seen The Black Keys play live, I believe they definitely deserved to be acknowledged for their talent and hard work.-Julianna Blischak

I agree with Julianna that the derserves to be acknowledged for their acomplishments because I can not recall the last time a local band went to the grammies, performed, and came home with awards.
