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!
