News: The Kills
Listen To The Kills’ ‘Pots And Pans’
We were front & center to see The Kills rock South By Southwest last week, where their setlist consisted almost entirely of selections from their upcoming fourth LP Blood Pressures. Their final song was a slow-burning nursery rhyme gone awry, a fantastic track called Pots and Pans that closes the album. This morning, we’ve got it here for your aural delight.
Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince have already previewed DNA, Satellite and Baby Says from Blood Pressures – now get your ears around Pots and Pans:
The 11-track batch of sounds arrives on April 5, after which The Kills will kick off a set of U.S. dates before heading back to Europe. Tour dates below.

someone’s been hanging out with jack white a bit much! not a bad thing, though. the whole album is perty darn good.
I doubt you can sit in the same room with jack and a guitar and not have a bit of it rub off on you. So far I havent heard anything from this album I dont thoroughly dig. Cant wait to get my hands on it, and hopefully Ill see em at the 9:30 club.
