The Kills @ The Liquid Room

Call her what you will, but Kate Moss sure knows how to pick 'em. Having leeched off of Monsieur Doherty's media jamboree until it scurried away like a rozzer raided crackhouse, she's quickly clambered on to to the cliff-edged cheekbones of The Kills' guitarist Jamie Hince. Unsurprisingly, it's all coincided with the release of Hince and Alison Mosshart's third long-player Midnight Boom but, rest assured, the Anglo-American ensemble are the antithesis of Moss's ex-beau's gum-diseased rapscallions. A phlegm gobbing frontgal with a snarling blues rasp, Mosshart is the embodiment of late 70s DIY Punk – abrasive, antagonistic, alluring – and backed by Hince's minimalist riffs the duo make for an enthralling live proposition that leaves eardrums battered and bloodied. If reports are to be believed, though, the scene-jumping supermodel has been barred from blurting out her dulcet tones on unsuspecting audiences so you'll have the added bonus of witnessing her diva-esque strops from the sidelines.
