Daily live ebullition to heat up your summer

10 July 2024

Band: THE DARTS
Who: All female garage rock hit team from the US of A, making lots of noizz since 2016.
They released their brand-new, hot-boiling album Boomerang last April (stream/buy below). Without a shadow of a doubt their most explosive.

The live track TUTV picked is one of their 2023 album (yep, 2 LPs in a year) named
Snake Oil. The utterly charismatic daredevils performed the title track in the studio
of renowned KEXP Radio – Seattle.

Must be the longest tour poster I’ve seen all year. Actually as long as their 2023 tour. Hardest working band in the world right now. Don’t miss them when they play your
town.

THE KILLS – Alison Mosshart And Jaimie Hince Played Godly Blues Rock Games In Brussels

Posted on by JL

11 May 2024

Last October iconic blues-rock duo THE KILLS – Alison Mosshart
and Jamie Hince – released their 6th LP, the first in 7 years, titled
GOD GAMES. One of 2024’s best.

TUTV wrote: “God Games features fewer fireworks than on previous LPs, but the pair still move and groove with sonic fervour and melodramatic tunes, as we know them. Sultry, delirious and passional. When Mosshart sings the blues, her heart-and-soul vocality draws all attention. Her tantalizing timbre and her midnight hour tone combined with Hince‘s edgy riffs and roasting hooks are what made me a Kills fan from day 1.”

Last Saturday, the duo landed in Brussels as part of their God Games tour. It was the first time since 2016 that we could enjoy their rad riff-rippin’ live force again. In an eye/ear blink Mosshart and Hince got the eager audience on their hands.

Stripped down to just the two of them (after touring with a full band the previous time) and a booming backing track the heat actually turned on the moment Hince hit his first burning chord and Mosshart swayed her hair in all directions and start howling in the micro. Charisma in motion, badass blues exaltation and godly tunes, this is what The Kills are about on stage. They still rule, hands down.
