The Kills show Juliette and the Licks how your supposed to do the frontwoman bit. Alison Mosshart slinks around the stage her raven hair flying. With just a drum machine and Jamie Hince on guitar they make a wonderfully rich sound.
Though the levels arent great, or the PA or my hearing is shot cos I can hardly make out a word she sings. But I dont let that bother me as the sound they create is rich and rhythmic and great to groove to and Cat Clawis superb!
Half way through the set she dons a Gibson looking semi-acoustic for Kissy Kissy and then a full fender electric for Dead Road 7 a fantastic live set and just goes to show drum machines are still alive and well. One of the many bands Id like to see again playing a longer set next time.
