Tour Alert: The Kills Celebrate 10 Years of Smoking Onstage
The Kills
Rock duos these days don’t get much cooler than the Kills. Alison Mosshart, the sultry, sullen howler who also happens to co-front the Dead Weather with Jack White, and Jamie Hince, a.k.a. Mr. Kate Moss, just announced a new string of winter dates into 2012. Their show at NYC’s Terminal 5 on February 12th will serve as a celebration of the band’s 10th anniversary together, and it promises to be filled with spit, sweat and leopard print.
