Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney join Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast (Glenn Peoples from Billboard and Jay Gilbert from Label Logic) to talk about the upcoming album, Ohio Players, out April 5. The debut single, "Beautiful People (Stay High)" and other tracks were inspired by the rock, R&B and funk 7" singles they played during their Black Keys Record Hang gigs at clubs around the U.S., Europe and Mexico City in 2023. "The way that a lot of those classic 45s are, there's there's no wasted space," says Carney. The guys talk about writing the song "On the Game" with Noel Gallagher of Oasis fame at a studio in London and, separately, the advice his brother Liam Gallagher gave them about how to build a setlist for a festival gig. The Black Keys currently have some European dates set for April and May and one U.S. date, the NASCAR Chicago Street Race Weekend two-day festival on July 6.

Neil Finn of Crowded House joined Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast to chat about the band's upcoming album, Gravity Stairs, out May 31 through BMG, and the first single, "Oh Hi" (watch the amazing video at YouTube here). Neil shares some insights into the songwriting craft, the band's live performances and Crowded House's long history. Crowded House was formed in 1985 after the break-up of Neil's previous band Split Enz ("I Got You," "Message to My Girl"). The group's 1986 debut album was a huge success in the U.S., the group's native Australia and New Zealand and elsewhere. "Don't Dream It's Over" reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 singles chart in 1987, and "Something So Strong" reached No. 7 the same year. The band went on to continued success with the albums Temple of Low Men in 1988, Woodface in 1991 and Together Alone in 1993. After a pause, Crowded House returned with Time on Earth in 2007 and Intriguer in 2010. After yet another pause, they returned with Dreamers are Waiting in 2021.  Links Crowded House home page Crowded House tour dates Jay Gilbert @ Label Logic Glenn Peoples @ Billboard Learn more about your ad choices.

Success — and longevity — isn't lost on Barenaked Ladies' Ed Robertson. "It just seems unreal to me that I've been in a band called Barenaked Ladies for three and a half decades," Robertson tells Behind the Setlist. Best known for their 1998 hit "One Week" and the theme song to the comedy TV show "Big Bang Theory," Barenaked Ladies is still going strong. They released their 14th studio album, In Flight, in September 2023 and are preparing for a U.K. tour in the spring before returning to more shows in the States. The band's joyous live shows have earned them a huge touring business at arenas and amphitheaters through the U.S. and Canada, their home country. Robertson says the band chose build a career in North America rather than try to break in Europe, Latin America and Asia. "We'll take any gig," says Robertson, "and we will deliver."
