Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince, the duo that make up the blues punk band The Kills, will be hitting The Vic this Wednesday in support of their latest release, Blood Pressures. Released just last month on the Domino label, it is the fourth album from the pair, who got together after Mosshart’s Florida based punk band Discount disbanded in 2000. Blood Pressures is the first full-length from the band since Mosshart took up lead vocal duties for The Dead Weather in 2009.
Joining The Kills on the bill are The Entrance Band. Currently residing in Los Angeles but with roots in Chicago, heavy psych trio The Entrance Band are the brainchild of Guy Blakeslee, who got his start with The Convocation Of… in Baltimore, later moving to Chicago and performing solo under the Entrance moniker. Entrance became The Entrance Band with the addition of drummer Derek James and bassist Paz Lenchantin (Zwan, A Perfect Circle) in 2006.
Opening the show is Brooklyn synthpop act Cold Cave, whose latest disc Cherish The Light Years was released last month on Matador Records.
