The Kills - Field Trip (Sat June 7)

The Kills
A band who I really enjoyed one album of in the mid oughts, like a few other at this fest, I didn't know much about what to expect. Well it was a bit of a treat then to see the band being a male and female duo plus a contingency of back drummers (two male and two female) who all stood over their drum and beat it out. Even their movements were highly coordinated, not just for sound but for looks and style too. In the background was a leopard backdrop with changing colours to add to the effect. The female vocalists really pranced around the stage in her skinniest jeans like vixen with showy hair  blowing in the fans, while her cohort was badass too, often playing guitar. Some of the tracks had some prerecorded sounds as well but it was mostly the coordinated drumming that held the attention. They rightly joined them for a bow after the especially powerful No Wow.
