Dan Auerbach recently rolled into town with his latest project, The Arcs, and put on a dark and dreamy show for a crowd excited to see the Black Keys frontman in an environ slightly smaller than usual haunts such as the TD Garden.

Auerbach’s new band gives the successful performer and producer an outlet to explore his bluesier side while leaving some of the more blasting rock songs he’s become known for to the side.

The all female, Mariachi Flor de Toloache, won the crowd over before The Arcs hit the stage and set the mood for a night of fun, strange, entrancing sounds.

Our Ben Herchenroether was there to capture the sights of the show.  He noted that Dan Auerbach is currently experimenting with leopard print clothing, and to be honest, which of us hasn’t…

For those interested in a bit of the experience, here is a recent performance of Auerbach’s The Arcs for NPR.
