I couldn't find a better word to try to describe this act, than just.. fuck.
Fuck, one for Alison and another for Jamie.
The impeccably dressed Brits took to the tiny V Fest stage and just fucking tore it apart.
I've been to a lot of festivals, seen a lot of international guests do the same boring thing, however The Kills just brought sex. It's been sometime since I've seen sex on stage, sans Sex On Fire, if you were making that joke, just, well .. go die? Please? Baby? Okay.
Alison, dressed in skinny jeans, a tattered Ksubi tee and leopard print jacket seems anxious as she paces round the small stage, cigarette continuously lit. She sings perfectly on cue and presses her tiny yet intimidating frame up against the speaker to inhale deeply and perfectly in time between vocals.
The U.K duo opened with their leading single from 'Midnight Boom' (their most successful in Australia to date) 'U R A Fever' and the crowd are in awe. The trendy two take turns in lyrics, perfectly on time, perfectly in tempo and all I could hear is people describing the rapes they planned to 'do over' on the two when the song wrapped.
You can't take your eyes off of Alison as she paces but you can just hear Jamie's guitaring consistency whist the drum machine goes and it's like some work of art.
The Kills performed most of the tracks from 'Midnight Boom' and hits like 'Kissy Kissy', they don't bullshit you between songs and the sound is better further back I soon discover.
Highlight of the set, 'Black Balloon' as day day turned into dusk this was the perfect track for me to forget another day in the fucking sun. I hate the fucking sun.
Closing with 'Cheap and Cheerful' you can hear all the girls screaming the words they know and i still want to have sexy with Alison. Maybe Jamie.. Maybe both?
Low light? I don't have sideshow tickets. Fudge.
