Release Notes:
The bluesy punk duo the Kills consists of
vocalist/guitarist VV, aka Alison Mosshart, formerly of
the Florida punk band Discount, and
drummer/guitarist/vocalist Hotel, aka Jamie Hince. After
Discount ended in 2000, VV began exchanging tapes with the
London-based Hotel through the mail, but both of them felt
hindered by this method, so VV crossed the Atlantic so the
duo could write faster. In spring of 2001, they issued a
self-released demo that showcased their gritty, sexy sound
and earned favorable reviews from such quarters as TapeOp
Magazine. They also contributed a song, "Restaurant
Blouse," to 5 Rue Christine's If the Twenty-First Century
Did Not Exist It Would Be Necessary to Invent It
compilation early in 2002, before their debut EP, Black
Rooster, arrived that summer on Dim Mak. Along with gigs
at the London and Glasgow LadyFests and supporting Le
Tigre, the Kills also toured the U.S. for eight weeks
before returning to London to finish their first full-
length album, Keep on Your Mean Side, which was released
by Rough Trade in spring 2003. Their second album, No Wow,
arrived in 2005 and was an even dirtier, leaner collection
of songs. The Kills retooled their sound for 2008's
Midnight Boom, mixing in more electronic beats and pop
hooks.s
