The Kills are easily one of my favorite bands ever. Dirty garage rock the way I like it. Come see them play music from their latest album if you happened to miss them at the over-packed and soldout show Rickshaw Stop a month ago.
The Kills make music that sounds like the stripped-to-the-bone nub of the crux of the sex and death and madness at the heart of the very best rock 'n' roll. Their newest album, "Midnight Boom," is a reminder that no one makes erotically-charged rock 'n' roll like The Kills, even though they have never been romantically linked. Perhaps people wouldn't believe their platonic relationship because Kills songs seem to drip with themes of hedonistic sexual freedom. Or maybe not having sex is the secret to the perfect sensual musical marriage?
