Kills Hit the Road w/Raconteurs, More

Ya gotta love those let’s-fuck-or-fuck-off vocals, eh?

By Fred Mills

The Kills resume touring North America in support of their latest album, Midnight Boom. It will be a mix of headlining shows, festival dates and opening slots for the Raconteurs. Kudos for both the band’s live prowess and for the album have steadily followed in their wake — your friendly neighborhood BLURT, for example, in our CD review, hailed the “guitar fuzz, distorted percussion and let’s-fuck-or-fuck-off vocals [that] make the Kills’ primal sensuality more magnetic than ever.”

Don’t miss ‘em.
