~original show on May 6, 2003~

What can I say about this band that hasn’t already been spat, hollered and shrieked at countless venues……. I can say this..the band originally caught my ear with the song ” I wanna get in your pants” and then immediatley made me think of Miss Chicky who I somehow ICQ’ed a copy of in WAV format to her for listening….the rest is history….the photos in the album are courtesy ROB ZERO who went to Athens to check em out and got these incredible pics…….

Now defunct, Pretty Vacant were an awesome Sex Pistols cover band with ROB on vocals making it real.
Update: I just met Steve Mack at the Yacht Club who played in Pretty Vacant and Julius Pleaser as well. Even though I was fairly wasted and can’t remember every single detail of our conversation I do remember enough to know we had a very good conversation about music in general and am looking forward to having more conversations like that one in the future. Very cool guys. Stay tuned to MusicFilter for updates on future projects of both Rob and Steve.

View photos of their last show here. If anyone from the band is checking out this page e-mail me with any other info you would like to see included on this page.

I’m not sure if it was the fact that Toxic Narcotic really moved us when they played or we just weren’t diggin’ the UK Subs but they just didn’t do it for us so we hung around just long enough to hear ‘I live in a car’ and take some photos. So we drove around and listened to the CD I made that day.

From “Shoot People, Not Dope” EP

We went to 9 Lives Saloon last nite(11_4_03) to check out the UK Subs. The best part of the nite was another band though, Toxic Narcotic. Raw fucking power, intensity and good songs. I met the singer after the show and he gave me their EP, Toxic Narcotic – Shoot people, Not dope. Five songs. I like all the songs. I didn’t think there would be any way in hell they could get that raw power onto a disc like they come across when seeing them live, but they did. Great music and the singer guy has a fucking voice that will make your ass want a dip of snuff. His intensity is incredible. Check out pictures from the live show here.

Read the MusicFilter review of The Kills first Lp here.

4/14/05 The Kills at The Earl review (by BMF)

We went to this show with high hopes. While we have always loved The Kills first record, the latest one, No Wow sounded good but didn’t have the same ooomph as their first. They sounded good but for some reason we just didn’t dig it like we thought. Maybe it was all the emo-freaks in the crowd. Photos.

 


7/21/2019 ~mc~ worked all day on the BMF Encyclopedia and got to the Kills who we fell for in 2003. That led me here to update this small MusicFilter tribute page. We did eventually get to see The Kills play live at the Earl in 2005, but wound up pretty disappointed in their show. Maybe it was the crowd as BMF thought but it was probably more that we were going to a lot of hard core crazy shows at that time and The Kills were not that kind of show. However their first album, “Keep on Your Mean Side” was punk as fuck and remains stellar on the turntable and will forever be in the rotation of every music server we own. The Kills are a piece of MusicFilter history and therefore our history. Their first album has the unique distinction of being the first album BMF reviewed and posted on MusicFilter and the first to earn a link on the sidebar. Ha! Not a big deal now but a BIG DEAL in 2003 when “blogging” was first getting started and getting a link on the sidebar was a special triumph. BMF took some fairly awful Makers Mark fueled photos with his Olympus Digital Camera that night in 2005 and the SWF file he made to archive the photos has since bitten the dust, but I was able to find them on the server at musicfilter.net and happily restored them into a gallery. As I view them now I don’t care about the quality, but remember the Earl’s dark vibe and the memory of how any night with BMF was a good night. I miss him so much. #57bmf4ever

 BMF was a rebellious smoker. Alison Mosshart or “VV” as she liked to be called in 2003 was/is a rebellious smoker.

Check out the whole album on you tube but you would be best to just get the damn thing for yourself.
Do people still do that? Would you make this sound for me? Alison is rad and The Kills kill it!
