The Kills - Black Sessions

The Kills have very quickly caught my ear. After I heard their excellent cover of the Velvet Underground classic "Pale Blue Eyes" I was hooked. I've since moved onto their debut record Keep on Your Mean Side and of course, these wonderful "Black Sessions" they did for a French radio station (from what I can gather it's a French radio station that broadcasts live shows or it's much like an NPR World Cafe type deal, not sure, Sabrina, do you have any insight?). If you're unfamiliar, it's worth your time. It's dark, heavy and bluesy, and you get to listen to one of the sexiest voices around. Enjoy guys!

Hahaha ! That was fun seeing my name on that, I didn't expect it !

I was at the 2008 Black Sessions ! It's a private gig at France Inter radio station. You have also the White Sessions which are recorded without an audience.

Haha, I was hoping to get a response out of you!

Thanks for the info, sounds incredibly cool. Every been to any other Black Sessions? I saw the list of performers on their Wiki and they've had some nasty acts go through there.
