It’s a big finish for this summer’s Live on King Street party with international garage rockers the Kills, composed of American Alison Mosshart (also of the Dead Weather) and Brit Jamie Hince. Since forming in 2000, the duo has specialized in their own brand of angular, minimalistic garage rock, including this year’s Ash and Ice. With LA Witch, GGOOLLDD. And when they wrap up, be sure to check out Majestic’s after-party, which will be toplined by Scottish indie darlings Frightened Rabbit, with support from Chicago emo revivalists Into It. Over It.
The Kills (Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart) released their fifth full-length album, Ash & Ice earlier this summer. The band has shared their music video for "Impossible Tracks," which was directed by Ellis Bahl.
Alison says about the video: "Introducing our new video for IMPOSSIBLE TRACKS! Shot by director Ellis Bahl, at Luna Park- the old weird and wonderful amusement park of dreams and nightmares so iconic to Melbourne Australia. We'd always wanted to shoot there, so on our last tour down under, we took this fine opportunity.
Welcome to off season... winter time, blistering bitter cold, the park to ourselves all day and night. The lights buzzing, the gears cranking, a hallucinatory stream of whiplash and spin. We shot between bursts of monsoon weather and crooked wind, we rode the rides, played the games, and lost ourselves in the mirror house. Enter in, the guts of the park, through the mouth of lights, Luna's pearly teeth, past the big bad gaze of those glowing blue eyes... Buckle your belts and take the ride on impossible tracks."
