The Kills!
Tonight (which now technically is yesterday evening) I went to see The Kills live at Voxhall in Århus. The ticket was bought in, uh, January so I had my hopes well up there.

When I arrived at the venue, I was told that the gig would be postponed at least an hour....

As mentioned before, I have a bit of a crush on this guy. The mixing is a bit off at times but still, it’s an excellent mix between dubstep and grime. Setlist can be fetched here. Whoa-B@BassGoesBoom
