I am so so excited that The Kills will be making a stop at First Avenue on February 12th as part of their ‘God Games Tour’!
Whether we look for him or not, we all find God somewhere. It could be in nature. It could be in church. It could be in the metaverse. It differs for each and every one of us. In terms of where God might be, The Kills aren’t necessarily saying, but the duo—Alison Mosshart [vocals] and Jamie Hince [guitar]—certainly sound like they’ve seen him. How else could you explain the primal call-and-response between Alison’s full body blues-soul vocal catharsis and Jamie’s swaggering, guillotine-smooth guitar transmissions on the duo’s sixth full-length offering, God Games [Domino].
“I wanted to write a record of godless spirituals,” Jamie states. “In real life, I’m an atheist. Creatively, I play with God a lot though. I liked occupying the space between those opposites.”
“In this space, it’s hard to be dishonest,” Alison elaborates. “This is a diary entry of seven years. It’s a canvas of time for us.”
The Kills have emerged as international rock stars, setting the pace for the genre, shaping this era’s sound, and redefining what rock music can be in the 21st century. They’ve tallied hundreds of millions of streams across albums such as Keep On Your Mean Side [2003], Midnight Boom [2008], and Blood Pressures [2011]. Most recently, Ash & Ice [2016] spawned fan favorites, including “Doing It To Death” and “Heart of a Dog.” Inciting critical applause, Pitchfork hailed the latter as “an ambitious record that encompasses everything they’ve done before,” and DIY rated it “4 stars.” They’re the rare force of nature who can tour with Queens of the Stone Age or Guns N’ Roses and light up Coachella. Moreover, their music has surged through dozens of television series and films, including the Academy® Award-nominated Children of Men.
Get to the show early because The Paranoyds are opening up this show!
