Coming To Your Local Bandstand: Kiss Me Deadly

Kiss Me Deadly, creators of last year's sexiest indie rock record, Misty Medley [Alien8], are back out on the road. "I want you, Mr. Secretary..." uh, sorry... Anyway, the Montreal quartet, in words lifted from an item we wrote in October, makes "gloriously melodic and sonically dense" music, more often than not powered by some coquettish vocals from Emily Elizabeth. Elizabeth, incidentally, can serve up the same sort of stratospheric screams that made Blonde Redhead's La Mia Vita Violenta a favorite record of many a college boy 11 years ago. Kiss Me Deadly is more dreamy and sometimes shoegazey than Blonde Redhead of that era, so the comparison isn't the most apt. But either way you'll want to see Kiss Me Deadly live. And many of you will get the chance between now and the end of April. Here are the dates.
