If you haven't heard of them take a look at this http://www.bebo.com/the-kills

I saw them at Electric Picnic and hadn't paid much attention to them before that. They were quiet good, but, maybe slightly off point, I was slightly confused by their relationship....I know its all an act but the whole 'throwing your big head of hair around the place till it gets in your fellow band members mouth/ears/guitar strings while trying to look seductive to the crowd and create loads of sexual tension' got a bit tiring after song or two:pac:

I am a major Kills fan, love them!!!! Saw them at Electric Picnic and will be seeing them again on Monday. When I saw them at EP, thought they put on a really good show. But I think they succeeded with the whole sexual tension thing they had going on, I think it's evident in most of their videos as well.

I missed U R A Fever at EP so roll on Monday. I just think they are different to anything else around at the moment and they are a great band to see live.

I saw them support Iggy and the stooges this year and then again at The Mighty Boosh Festival! Can't wait for monday!!!

Really good gig. Anybody know who the dude in the Bowler hat was? The DJ guy between the Kills and the support act?

good band alright 1st heard them a couple of years ago when i heard monkey 23 at the end titles of the beat my heart skipped.new album is pure pop (not a bad thing)

S.M.B.

I liked their first 2 albums but never got around to getting their 3rd? Is is worth having a listen.

The only song I know off it is Cheap and Cheerful and that's only because I wanted to compare the original to the SebastiAn remix which I adore. It blows the original away imo.

I wouldn't say pop, there are some songs that lean that way like Cheap and Cheerful and Black Balloon but the rest ain't poppy at all

Yeah imo it really is worth having a listen, hasn't got a patch on No Wow, but still really good.

I'll listen to that when I get home, not really a major fan of remixes though .

saw them support the stooges was'nt impressed.....although you don't remember much after a stooges gig except the stooges

Latest album Midnight Boom is fantastic probably possibly maybe one of my albums of the year. It has some quality songs particularily U.R.A Fever, Tape Song and the last song which is a very deliberately sounding Velvet Underground-y song.

Would love to c them live

Yeah great sound from the kills. Had their 2nd album for the past few years and loved it. Saw them at EP and they were bloody amazing... New album is really good as well.

Saw them again last week in Tripod and they were excellent.

Alison Mosshart.... mmmmhhhhh
