Congratulations to The Black Keys, winners of the Breakthrough Video Award at last night's MTV Video Music Awards. The video for "Tighten Up," off their latest Nonesuch release, Brothers, won the award in a field that also included past winners Coldplay ("Strawberry Swing") and Gorillaz ("Stylo"), as well as Dan Black ("Symphonies").

The band was on the road as the awards ceremony took place last night in Los Angeles, continuing their US tour with Kings of Leon and The Whigs. Following Saturday night's show at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater, the groups are in Raleigh, North Carolina, tonight to perform at the Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek.

Tomorrow night, The Black Keys break out for a headlining set with The Whigs at the Charlottesville Pavilion, a show that was rescheduled from last week due to a death in the family. The headlining show originally scheduled for tomorrow at the Orange Peel in Asheville, North Carolina, has been moved to this Thursday.
