The Kills Reread Their Diary With ‘Little Bastards’ Album

Allison Mosshart and Jamie Hince, the co-founding members of the British-American rock ‘n’ roll band, The Kills, remember the day they met. Hince recalls Mosshart’s face turning red, overwhelmed at least somewhat with the prowess of the musician. Mosshart remembers thinking he was the coolest person she’d ever seen. But, more than either of those flustering feelings, the two had instant faith in one another. And there was a bubbling, boiling, broiling chemistry that was inescapable. From that first moment meeting at a gig – the two were in separate bands at the time – their own group began to grow. A simple duo, at first, Mosshart and Hince dove headfirst into blues and rock music, out of both a love and reverence for it as much as out of necessity. Fans of The Kills can now hear the group’s early steps in the studio with the forthcoming release of the band’s new B-sides and rarities record (2002-2009), Little Bastards, out on December 11th.
