The Kills

[Kevio]

I saw these guys earlier this week on a friend's whim. It was a great show up until the part where the singer needed to say bye-bye in an ambulance.

So at first I was pissed that there were only two of them plus beat box noise generator setup. But then I realized that it could be worse. There could have been a Macbook up on the stage. Only Kraftwork is allowed to do that and when they do, they have to wrap their tech in cellophane or some other edgy material (be careful not to block the cooling vents though).

No really, they don't sound like Kraftwork at all. It's a dark punk upbeat bluesy thing. That doesn't sound possible, does it?

Anyways, I'm pretty sure that they're going to self-destruct shortly - ambulance and punk darkness and the potentially volatile dynamics of a duo (there's only two or you, who's gonna referee?) So you should step up and take a hit of this stuff before it is gone.

Sounds like a great show, marred by travesty.
