w/Child Ballads at Slim's, SF
Sat. May 17th, 2008
Doors: 8:00 PM
Event: 9:00 PM
Tickets: $16 advance here
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?
Aw you took the photo away!

Thanks, Eric! I snapped the photo the first time I saw The Kills (at The Independent). You are full of good stories when you are drunk, my friend. Also, I promise if you ever get that drunk again, I won't let you roam the streets alone...I only did so because I had a crazy 8 am meeting the next day.

Wow, nice page. Last time we caught them at the Rickshaw, I ran across Aubrey and Amelia again later that again at a pizza joint with my knuckles a bit bloody. Good show!

This one reads better on the Public Events page. :)
