If, like the majority of rock’no’rollers, you’ve been salivating over your skinny black jeans and cowboy boots at the thought of Domino Records duo The Kills coming to Australia to play their delightfully scuzzy garage punk tunes from Midnight Boom, then some good news… V Festival are about to make all your dreams come true, with the announcement that Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart will be joining their merry musical circus around the nation in March/April 09 PLUS playing sideshows (supported by Louis XIV – a hot ticket if ever there was one, yes?).

Get ready to wig out and dance like your feet are on fire to Cheap and Cheerful; slink into a pelvis thrust to U.R.A Fever; get transported into riff bliss with the anthemic, exhilarating Last Day Of Magic; and get warm and fuzzy in your nether regions at the electrifying, raw and sexy as hell brand new single, Tape Song (released on March 13).

The typically lo-fi video for Tape Song contains footage filmed by the band while on tour in the US with The Raconteurs (aka The Saboteurs) and you can watch it right here:
