We've been long time fans of the band The Kills since 2004 when they played Frieze Music, an outpost of the Frieze Art Fair. That night saw they took to the stage before the Kaiser Chiefs debuted, this being at a time when the majority of people knew little as to whom all these bands were. This resulted in us being hooked and ordering their album No Wow immediately and following their path to being as celebrated as they are today. Back then it was more rocky and raw, today that rawness is still very much there when Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart take to the stage. Their most recent album Midnight Boom has been on repeat in our vintage Bang & Olufsen deck for quite some time now and it never wears thin the moment we listen to it. This is one of the most talented duo's the UK music scene has to offer and the last time we caught them live in Oxford they have lost none of what they displayed in 2004, just a few more new songs and a fantastic energy.
The Kills tour began a few days ago and finishes on 21st November, if you're after one of the most intense gigs to be had then this is one ticket for you.
