If one wasn’t wearing earplugs last Thursday at the 9:30 Club, it’s a safe bet they’re on the road to tinnitus sooner than later, as The Kills and JEFF the Brotherhood redefined “loud.”
Playing to a sold-out crowd, Kills lead singer Allison Mosshart stalked about the stage, full of dyed-pink hair and attitude, while guitarist Jamie Hince led the band’s signature sound, one of gritty guitars and dance loops that collectively create a melody of that exquisite pain that hurts so good.
Nashville’s JEFF the Brotherhood opened. Composed of just two brothers, a drum, and a guitar, this Nashville duo’s sound is interesting, like Southern cock rock and post-punk were thrown in a shaker and stirred.
You can hear/download the entire Kills set from Thursday via NPR.
