Black Keys, Primus, and Gogol Bordello coming to town

Check out this week’s Feedback column to read about a couple of local filmmakers for whom acclaim at the Tribeca Film Festival has preceded the finished product. But they’re not sweating it. (Teaser: the film’s about Mexican carnival workers.)

Now onto serious business. The Pavilion announced a couple of exciting additions to their schedule yesterday. The first is an outrageous double bill featuring stanky alt-rockers Primus, the only band with enough audacity to release a record called the Brown Album, and Gogol Bordello, who you may (or may not) recall from their New Year’s blowout at the Jefferson Theater. Catch them in the heat on August 1.

Also announced yesterday was a visit from the beloved two piece rock duo the Black Keys. The Keys have a new record coming out this month, a follow up to their genre-crossing effort Blakroc, where they collaborated with Mos Def, Ludacris, and members of the Wu Tang Clan. Suffice to say, here’s hoping for some cameos on September 9.

Tickets for shows go on sale Friday.
